Straight off the back of Brent Knoll Bowl and here we are again at the Halford Hewitt. \u00a0This year we are playing at Royal St George’s and we have a team plus reserves! \u00a0At one point we had 14 players down but eventually settled on 12. \u00a0Welcome to the Lee brothers for the first time to this wonderful competition.<\/p>\n

Overall the weather was unpredictable with Tuesday and Wednesday being the best of the week with 40-50 mph winds expected Thursday and Friday. \u00a0Willacy, Stickler, Hector, Ford, Greg\/Pete Whalley and Bradnock played on the Tuesday with the rest arriving either that evening or for the Wednesday practice day.<\/p>\n

Our first round match was against Chigwell, who according to the Anderson scale are ranked similar to Taunton, so we felt we had a chance. \u00a0However, we then knew the 2nd round would be tough with a match against either Eton or Ampleforth (who we did beat last year).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So in preparation for Thursday’s match we tasked Chef Greg to cook something special to warm us up and what a meal it was with scallops prepared by sous chef Higgy followed by rack of lamb for main course. \u00a0Well done team.<\/p>\n

\n3) G Whalley\/A Ford (L) 7-6

2nd Round v Eton Lost 4.5 – 0.5
\n1) M Pyke\/R Willacy (L) 1 Down

Despite the final score against Eton it’s worth noting 3 of the games were up at the 12th Halfway Hut. \u00a0Eton went on to lose in the Semi-Finals.<\/p>\n

Another fantastic week was had by all and I hope the Lee twins enjoyed it as much as us old timers do and we hope to see them back again next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
