🏌️♂️ League Match Report 🏌️♂️
The Stones team opened their first home fixture of the campaign in what can only be described as absolutely horrendous conditions for June, as steady rain and heavy conditions made scoring a real test for both sides. Despite this, the match was played in excellent spirit throughout, with both teams battling hard to secure a halved match overall.
On the course, there were some excellent performances across the board.
Anthony Lacey and Josh Bell delivered a standout performance, producing a dominant 7&6 victory, controlling their match from the outset and never allowing their opponents into the contest.
Harry Smith and Simon Prior also impressed with a strong and composed display, securing an excellent 4&3 win, closing their match out and showing real consistency under pressure.
Gary Walford and Corey Tamlyn were involved in a tightly contested battle throughout, ultimately earning a well-fought half point reflecting a solid and resilient performance from both pairs.
Phil McGuire and Steve Cobley fought valiantly in a competitive match but ultimately fell just short, losing 3&2, despite pushing their opponents all the way to the closing stages. David Evans and Jack Brooks also battled hard in another close encounter but were narrowly defeated 2&1, in a match that remained in the balance for long stretches.
Overall, it was a gritty and determined home performance in difficult conditions, with plenty of positives to take forward as The Stones continue their league campaign.
Attention now turns to the next fixture as momentum builds within the squad.
Up The Stones! 💙🏌️
