Great Start for Mapperley Juniors

Yesterday was the first match of the 2011 season, and we had a beautiful day to host Ruddington Grange in Division 1 of the Junior Interclub League.

Under new Captain Sam Buck, we recorded a 3 1/2, 2 1/2 victory. Daniel Dunsby won his match very comfortably 8&7, Paul Dickson made his 4&3. Steve Allsop held his nerve to drain a tricky six-footer on the last to claim his game 1 up and the match for the team. Special mention to Jack Redwood, who only joined the club last week, but brought an active handicap with him. Drafted in at the last minute and probably knowing the course no better than his opponent, to whom he was giving two shots, Jack kept it going right to the last green.

We are again a very small squad this year, we'll need everyone's commitment all the time if we're going to stay in the top division. A great start though! Next match is Trent Lock, again at home, probably Sunday 15th May.

Food - Mapperley chocolate fudge cake, for the win!
