Following on from the Brent Knoll Bowl the scratch team congregated on the Kent south coast for this years Halford Hewitt competition. We brought the weather with us from Somerset and most of the team arrived for the Tuesday practice round, which hasn’t happened for a while. Unfortunately the extra day’s practice didn’t not help our performance! However, on a positive note two of our pairs did go down the 18th and Pete Whalley/Dave Higginson won their match, which ends a draught for Pete who hadn’t won a point since joining the team (about ten years ago!) but has always been close. So champagne was cracked open to celebrate this momentus occasion.
Team: R Willacy, I Westwater, P Whalley, D Higginson, G Whalley, G Hector, D Morgan, T Blood, M Jenkins, M Pyke.
