Somerset Rose Bowl. v Long Sutton

Wells GC played Long Sutton GC recently in the second round of the Somerset Rose Bowl.

Wells were fortunate to have a home draw against what was a very strong Long Sutton team.

The weather was perfect and the scene set fair for an exciting contest, albeit late on a Friday.

Toby Cole and Danny Wyroll got the home side off to a good start winning a very close match on the 18th 1 up.

Peter Cherry and Ian Burr suffered and succumbed 3&2 in the second match.

Darren Barnett and Duncan Bratt tried hard to squander the 6 shots they were receiving but eventually squeaked home with a good putt on 18 to also win 1 up.

Bill McCollum and Simon Jackson played very steadily to record a win 2 up.

Mike Metcalfe and Glen Crocker overcame their huge hitting opponents by use of good short games , as usual, ably assisted by the 10 shots they were getting.

They ran out winners 3&2 and Wells completed a very satisfying win 4-1 with home advantage definitely an important factor.

The next opponents are Bath, at Bath.
