Report by Dave Tweed for mens' matchplay games on 16th January 2014

15 of us played on what was probably the best day of the week, from a weather perspective. Quite bright, fairly warm, no rain and little wind.  Unfortunately Pete Steward had to drop out due to a twisted knee, so the other Peters' (Chapman and Vaughan) played the "split 6" game with Russell Lloyd. The remaining 12 of us played the MMMsomes matchplay game.

Russell and Peter V had not played the spilt 6 game before, so Peter C used his wisdom to win comfortably, by out scoring the other two on the front 9, back 9 and overall game - giving him 3 wins out of 3 so far this quarter.  Consequently, Peter Chapman now heads the league table with a 2 point gap.  Full results as follows:-

Chis Nickels & Bernard O'Reilly beat Charles Bradshaw & Stuart Monk by 3&2

Dave Tweed & Frans Bus beat Larry Pratt & Stuart Walker by 4&3

Peter Chapman beat Russell Lloyd (2nd) and Peter Vaughan in the split-six 3ball game

Stuart Deans & Stu McGill beat Richard Emrich & Don forrester 2up
