Herts Boys bask in the sunshine at Chesfield Downs

FROM L TO R, HERTS CAPTAINS SECRETARY JOHN SAUNDERS, LUKE WRATHALL, HARRY WOOR & RICHARD BLANCHFLOWER

On a warm sunny day without a cloud in the sky, the young men of Hertfordshire enjoyed some exceptional scoring in their annual fixture involving the Society of Hertfordshire Captains.

Teams are drawn with a junior partnering a past captain and played as a 4BBB stableford, with pair scores going towards either the Stags team lead by Adam Crowther (Bishops Stortford), or the Bucks team captained by Ben Miller (Harpenden Common).

At the end of the day it was Adam and the Stags who held the bragging rights thanks mainly to his own superb contribution, supported by partner Bob Howell (Arkley), with a terrific score of 45 points. This was surpassed only by the exceptional play of young Daniel Smith (Hadley Wood) partnering Eric Diment (Aldwickbury Park) who amassed 47 points.

The Stags team final tally was 327 points against the Bucks team on 313 points with young Harry Woor (Berkhamsted) alongside past captain (Richard Blanchflower (Brookmans Park) heading their teams contribution with 45 points.

An indication of the steady performances from everyone was that the Stags team averaged 40.9 points per pair against the Bucks with 39.1 points.

Altogether though a fine days play thoroughly enjoyed by all. The boys were generously entertained at dinner and presented with a memento of a pitch repair and ball marker by the Society Captain Bob Howell in recognition of their golden jubilee year. They now have no excuse for not carrying these when playing and will be a constant reminder of a great day spent amongst new friends.
