Marlborough through to 2nd rd.
In appalling conditions, Marlborough beat Solihull this morning 2-1.
A youthful team managed to win with two matches going to the 18th.
The youngest pair of Oscar Oliver and Albie Payne (both U20 as per our new push to bring in the young and talented) fought well allthe way but succumbed at 17 and 18 and lost 2dn on 18th. Our middle pair of Hamish Greenwood and Elliot Matthews won 4/3 with an accomplished performance. Our 3rd pair of Charlie Foster and Henry Ingham were 1up coming to the 18th. They were just off the green in two 9no mean feat) but the wind was so strong that Charlie's first putt went up to the hole and then ran back 5'. Their opponents also 3-putted for us to take it 1up.
This afternoon is Loretto!
