Rickmansworth Friendly
Once again the first leg of the annual Rickmansworth friendly was held at Richmond Park. For both sides some of the usual faces turned up but there was also a fair smattering of new ones too which is good to see.
The Rickmansworth 12 looked very smart in their peacock blue outfits but the Richmond Park Eleven looked even more colourful in a rainbow display of colours that had the opposition confused for several holes. It was particularly worrying for the 6th game who were playing Gurpal and on the lookout for a player in camouflage. Once it became clear our Captain was bravely battling on his own his opponents slowly started to take charge and we were one down despite a plucky display by Gurpal.
Overall we turned out winners by 3.5 to 2.5. This is not a great lead to take to Rickmansworth where we lost 6:0 last year, so we will be looking for a very strong squad to take this year – we might even take 12 this time.
The date for the return is Sat. August 21st, so anyone in form might want to pencil that date into their diaries now before anyone tries to slip wedding anniversaries or Mothers 100th Birthdays in instead.
