🏌️♂️ Stones League Match Report 🏌️♂️
The Grove were on the road on Tuesday evening as they travelled to Neath Golf Club, looking to keep their unbeaten league run intact.
We were treated to a lovely evening for golf, with the course in great condition. A big thank you to everyone at Neath for their hospitality – they were fantastic hosts and made us feel very welcome.
With our regular captain unavailable, Phil McGuire stepped in to lead the team and did a superb job. He kept everything running smoothly and also led by example out on the course.
The performance of the night came from Corey Tamlyn and Tom Walters, who were absolutely flying. They played some brilliant golf and never gave their opponents a look in, running out impressive 9&7 winners.
Phil McGuire and Anthony Lacey also picked up a valuable point with a solid 2&1 victory, while Josh Bell and Evan Davies battled hard in a closely fought match to earn an important half.
Simon Prior and David Evans were involved in another competitive match but came up just short, losing 3&2 after a good battle. Gary Walford and Simon White also gave everything against a very strong Neath pairing, but despite their efforts, they were beaten 9&7.
With the points shared, the match finished 2½–2½, which was probably a fair result on the night. Most importantly, it means The Grove remain unbeaten in the league, and we'll take plenty of positives into the next fixture.
A great effort from everyone who represented The Grove, and thanks again to Neath Golf Club for a thoroughly enjoyable evening.
Up The Stones! 💙🏌️
