IN a rain affected week, the Senior golfers at Cricket St Thomas Golf Club played two matches.

On Monday, the match team travelled to Weymouth and found the conditions too much, as they capitulated 6-0 against a very strong Weymouth side.

Two games went down to the final hole, which salvaged some pride.

Results
Roger Stone & Mike Hone lost by 2 holes
Roger Davis & Andy Beale lost by 4 & 2
Barrie Heath & Ian Fielder lost by 4 & 3
George Wallace & Stuart Pope lost by 2 holes
Richard Forster & Chris Gingell lost by 4 & 3
Barrie Singleton & A N Other lost by 5 & 4

On Thursday, the team hosted a strong Long Sutton team, and were again outplayed, but they can claim to be a little unlucky.

The first two games finished in favour of the home team, but they lost the next three.

With the result resting on the final game, the Saints team were disappointed when they lost on the final green after being two up for most of the game, meaning Long Sutton won 4-2.

Results
Roger Stone & Nick Clarke won by 3 & 2
George Wallace & Lindsey Gage won by 4 & 2
Keith Potter & Mick Aldridge lost by 3 & 1
Peter Spencer-Farr & Nobby Hodder lost by 5 & 4
Roger Davis & Paul England lost by 4 & 3
Stuart Pope & John McOmish lost by 1 hole
