Stoke Rochford Seniors left Stanton on the Wolds Seniors with a 5-3 victory.

On a day in which the weather threw everything at the players – rain, wind and sun – the start was delayed due to the rain and flooded greens.

When the game got underway the course was in good condition with excellent greens as is usual at Stanton.

Stoke Club Captain James Footitt joined the team for the match and played with the Seniors’ Captain.

There were some tight games but Stoke came out on top to complete the third winning double of the year.

Mike Thornton & James Footitt won 3 & 2, Graham Manton & Brian Ayto halved, Chris Vose & Jim Davidson won 1 up, John Wright & Mike Watkins lost 3 & 1, Steve Anderson & Barry Mitchell lost 3 & 2, Peter Gill & Darrell Knight halved, Ken Taylor & John Hitchman won 7 & 6, David Hamilton & Steve Major won 2 up.

Fifty-two players took to the course and some good scores were recorded despite the weather.
