Cliff Hayes beat Alan Clark +13T
A crashing defeat, with few excuses. True, there were rabbit runs in many hoops (Hopewell hoops on one lawn and Omega on the other), the lawns were distinctly two-
In the top three singles Simon, Arthur and John all got to the peg but only managed to peg one ball out, which led to a lot of tactical play to try and recover ground, but to no avail. Cliff kept his nose in front for our only win.
The lawns in Cassiobury Park. Note the gazebo in front of the clubhouse and the fencing round the courts.
