Friday 4th November was a sunny and cloudless
day, showing Sunningdale at its very best for the annual match between the Old
Harrovians and the Old Etonians on the Old Course.
Andrew Graham had invited the following team to play as he
was unable to participate.
- ·
Garth Bearman with Johnny Cameron
- ·
Neil Scaife with James Charatan
- ·
Geoffrey Goddard with Thomas Olesen
- ·
Tim Parsonson with John Macpherson
- ·
Edward Fane with Rupert Fisher
Douglas Gordon, also unable to attend, selected the
following team:
- ·
Giles Sanderson with Jonathan Lloyd
- ·
Daniel Wallace with Colin Hely-Hutchinson
- ·
Mark Lyall Grant with Lance Morrish
- ·
Thomas Brudenell with Patrick Wolrige Gordon
- ·
James Bathurst with Dominic Cazenove
The match ensued in good humour with most going the full distance and ending in favour of the Old Harrovians who won comfortably on paper 4.5 to 0.5. However, three matches were won on the 18th hole and one was drawn so it was much closer than the score suggests.
