DAVE MAKES IT TWO ON THE TROT 
The Bruvs tie as Con's nine on the par three sinks him
The Matchplay League really came alive on Saturday, as the Bruv's went all the way to earn a half apiece, whilst Dave made it two wins out of two in a tense battle with Pressuremeister Con who dented his reputation with pressure induced errors on the seventeenth to lose by 2 & 1.
The monthly medal was tight until the mighty sixth. Five players were tied after five, but Dave chipped in for par, which not only put him in the low score frame but put him a two shots shot clear of the Bruvs. At the halfay mark, Dave lead Mike by two with Con and the Bruvs a further two behind. A superb birdie by Mike on eleven helped his low score chances, but it was the the unlucky thirteenth that produced the days biggest drama. Mike's first went over, but hit a tree, he would not be able to look for it until he had crossed the bridge. His provisional went into a bush and it was not until he'd hit or dropped eight times that he was in a position to find his first. Luckily he recovered it and ony needed five more shots to get it into the hole...thirteen goes to scre a six on a par three!!! dave and Con couldn't hide their amusement, which must have unsettled them, as they both failed to get across the ditch, Con scoring a miserable nine. The boys must have set up a record score for a three ball on a par three - 21 not counting Mike's seven provisionals. The following group thrashed them with their sixteen!!!! However, it was still Dave leading Mike by one with Alan two behind. Two holes later and Dave was a commanding four strokes in the lead, but Mike was now in a tie with the bruvs in second. geoff moved up on the next and then made it a one shot deficit with a hole to play. He was also leading Al by one hole in the matchplay. Good finishing by Dve and Al put paid to Geoff's dream as he limped home with a seven.
