Mitcham Ladies – Home Leg
Result: Win 3-1
Overall result: Win 4-4
Having won the “Rich Mitch” Cup for the last few years things were hanging by a thread this year, after a comprehensive 3:1 loss to Mitcham in the away match earlier in the year.
The return match on Dukes was held in awful weather and was fiercely contested. I am proud to say that the Richmond team won 3:1 at home to tie the match and retain the trophy!
Thanks to all team members who performed well.
Rickmansworth – Home Leg
Result: 4-2 Win
With several members who had not played for the club before, a strong team was mustered for the home leg of this year’s match against Rickmansworth Golf Club. The pairings were :-
Richard Owen & Stan Potts
Gurpal Sekhon & Michael Rossiter
Graeme Syme & Nigel Ward
Ian Smith & Sandy Willison
Paul Grand & Toby Hunt
Jon Cooper & Tony Kopchez
The weather was similar to that we have endured for most of this summer: cool, windy and with some dampness in the air. Although many of the Rickmansworth players know our course very well, home advantage almost certainly played its part in us securing 3 wins and two draw, to their one win, giving us a 4-2 advantage to take to Rickmansworth in August. Several of the matches were very close and a good time was had by all.
After the match, both teams retired to the Dysart Arms , where we enjoyed a steak dinner and speeches (largely drowned out by the pianist).
