Channel League vs Somerset

Channel League vs Somerset
Marlborough GC
17th July 2011 

MATCH REPORT:A very windy day at Marlborough with rain showers but the course in great condition and the greens running well. Local knowledge paid off in the morning as the home side went into lunch leading by 3.5 to 1.5 points. A blistering run by Ben and Jason in the 3rd match, from the 9th, eagle, birdie, birdie, eagle...not a bad foursomes score!

Somerset though switched their order for the afternoon and their fortunes and some outstanding golf from some of their players turned the tables on Wiltshire. Shane Winstone, playing against Ali James who was defending a 17 match unbeaten run was 5 under par when he brought that record to an end.

A first cap for Chris Stewart and home player, 16 year old Ben Amor remaining unbeaten, where encouraging signs for the future for Wiltshire but Somerset were desrved winners and extend their lead at the top of the table.
