RAGS vs St George’s Hill – 12 Sep 19
By Eddie GraceUncategorizedRAGS were 2 points down going into the second leg of the match against St George’s Hill at West Hill. After an excellent lunch at which George Cassie celebrated the 50th anniversary of his first outing in the match, the RAGS members attempted to reverse the deficit.
After the first five games it was clear that RAGS would need to win the last match to tie the two legs and retain the Jade Putter, thanks to wins for Peter Tomlinson, Adam Hayward and George Cassie, Kippy Davis and Scott Forsyth. Balance by two wins for SGH including a point for Simon Dunk on a free transfer for the day to St George’s Hill.
The rest of the team watched the last match come up the demanding last hole at West Hill, all square. A good putt from Bruce Leith was enough for St George’s Hill to seize the last point, a tie on the day and a 7-5 victory overall.
A great day with many old friends in decent weather. But St George’s Hill have won back the Jade Putter.
