The matchplay tournament was first contested on the first ever Baxter tour. On that occasion, Dave and Mike teamed up to beat Geoff and Con in a thrilling 19th hole play-off. The scores were Con 113, Mike 117, Geoff 126, Dave 127.
This year, it was the Bruvs against Mike & Dave. Up to half-way, it was a cut and thrust contest, but at the turn, he bruvs took five holes in a row to win with four to play. Geoff had the best score with 25 points and an eighteen stroke improvement over his 1999 score. Dave struggled with a sorry 12 on thirteen, but managed eleven strokes better. Mike also had his troubles, but was eight strokes up.
That evening, the lads enjoyed a slap-up five-course meal followed by brandies in the bar, ready for a 6.30 alarm call and 36 holes at Arras.
