Today was the long awaited battle between the MOHGS and the Dirty Dozen from Beamish golf club. The draw had been made and the battle commenced at 10.48 after coffee and bacon sarnies in the clubhouse. There was a full compliment of MOHGS plus a reserve, Shagpile, who in the event was not required but whose attendance was noted by the Comp. Sec. and mentioned in dispatches following the game.

RESULTS: Mr. B.H, who had assiduously organised the event, delivered the results with aplomb. He thanked everyone for their attendance and remarked upon the camaraderie and spirit of friendship and sportsmanship which had been on display. The result was an overwhelming win for the MOHGS by a score of 5.5 to 0.5. The stableford winners with a massive 45 points were Crocs and Brains. In second place were the Geezer and Kwok with an equally impressive 43 points. Dave Greener and Jack Parker were a close third with 42 points. All the winners were presented with a golf ball to commemorate the occasion. The Comp. Sec. retained a ball which will be presented to the noble sub, Shagpile, at the next MOHGS get together.

It was suggested that there should be a return match at Beamish, which was greeted with enthusiastic applause by both teams.

Ian Hodgson, on behalf of the DD, thanked Mr. B.H for organising the competition, a sentiment that was endorsed with loud cheers by both groups of competitors.

Kwoks will be absent for the next three weeks.
