The C Team met for their last home match v Spalding with water bottles & umbrellas at the ready in the knowledge that it was going to be a hard fought & very hot game. Not only that but the final result needed to be a win or halve in order to top their league for the season, so, ‘no pressure’ then!!! What they did not bargain for was for thunder, lightening and pouring rain after the first hour of playing resulting in a klaxon call back to the Clubhouse! However, the C’s were not deterred once the all clear was given and set back off with the addition of humidity to add to the heat. All our teams were playing against lower handicap players. It’s safe to say Spalding sent in their big guns!!
Sara and Bev, faced with an ‘A Team’ 12 and 17 handicapper, got an amazing half as did Steph and Joan both playing against a 17 & 18 handicapper.
Elaine and Janet dovetailed well to achieve a great 3-1 win and Jan and Pippa, playing against 21 handicappers had a very close game right to the end with a 3-2 loss. Therefore the whole match resulted in a half which gave Burghley the extra point to go top of the league. An amazing result considering all the odds were against them. Well done to every single one of the C Team players over the season. We couldn’t have done it without you.
