This year’s Cyril Gray took place again at the end of June 25 – 28.
Once again the sun shone and the course was in great condition. Our first round was against Wellingborough, last year’s runner up, and Taunton had a great first round winning 2-1. In the 2nd round Taunton were facing Liverpool and unfortunately we didn’t play as well as the first round and lost 2.5 – 0.5.
Captain’s Closing Message:
Many thanks to all for participating over the past couple of days. A slightly disappointing outcome against Liverpool yesterday but one match still live on the 20th when the match point was lost by another on 19th is real progress. Congrats to Pykey and Tim for remaining unbeaten in this year’s event and banking 1 1/2 points. Congrats to John G whose trajectory in his first four matches ( 8/7 loss, 7/6 loss, 2/1 loss, loss on 19th) is showing real improvement! Thanks to Richard for flying over from Menorca with a dodgy back and to Martin for being part of the team. Thanks to Neil R and Andy H for being in reserve and and Neil actually coming down on Wednesday and being prepared to interrupt his lunch if needed on Thursday. Great team spirit.
Team:
David Morgan, Richard Willacy, Tim Blood, Matthew Pyke, John Groombridge, Martin Knight.
Reserves: Neil Robertson, Andy Horne
