Staffs Vs Cambridgshire 2010

Staffordshire seniors hosted their home match against Cambridgeshire at Branston Golf Club on Monday 2^{nd of August. The course was in fine condition with the mild and sunny weather making conditions perfect for golf. Branston is a long and difficult course to play with plenty of water hazards. Against a team the Staffordshire usually beat, Captain Terry Henwood was surprised to see his team level at 3-3 after the morning Greensomes; the afternoon betterballs got off to a bad start with the first two matches going against the home team. However, the lower orders came good with only Sandy Fraser and Dave Thomas winning all their points and thanks to a final pairing of Mike Bates and Terry Bailey Staffordshire eventually ran out winners by 12-8}
