Team A Rd 2 Home to Ruislip
Report by Sheena Harrington

Result: 3-2 Win

Winning pairs: Ian & Julie Smith, Martin & Tracy Wright, Jon Cooper & Di Jackett

Losing pairs: Dave William & Maureen Slade, George Martin & Sheena Harrington

The Hawtree Team A had a splendid win against a team from Ruislip who in the past have lifted the trophy in three consecutive years and who more recently (last year) won the regional final.

Team optimism was not high going onto the first tee as all our pairings had to give a minimum of 5 shots with Ian & Julie giving a massive 16 shots. The outcome came down to the final pair of Jon & Di who nailed the result after going dormie (don't know how to spell this) 2 up at the 16th and sealing the win on the next hole.

Despite their obvious confidence in the outcome, Ruislip sent a very friendly and affable team, coping as well as we did with the effect of playing foursomes behind the clubs' four balls and the day was enjoyed by all members of both teams.

We now look forward to our 3rd round match against Little Hay.

Team A Rd 3 v Little Hay
Report by Sheena Harrington

Result: 3-2 Loss

Winning pairs: Martin & Tracy Wright, Jon Cooper & Di Jackett

Losing pairs: Ian & Julie Smith, Dave William & Maureen Slade, Kerry Sargeant & Sheena Harrington

We finally got to play our match against Little Hay 8 weeks after the last round, and sadly could not continue our winning ways being beaten 3 - 2.

As in the previous round we were mainly giving shots to the opposition but our victorious pairings made it look easy - Di Jackett & Jon Cooper winning 7 & 6 and Tracy & Martin Wright by 5 & 4.

Unfortunately the rest of us didn't, with yours truly continuing an unbroken record of never having won a Hawtree match. Little Hay's team had combinations of low men and high ladies which worked for 3 of their pairs, but obviously not the others!

They made us very welcome all seeming to be a friendly bunch and we enjoyed our day there.
