This was the Associations second match against Manchester District Past Captains (MDGC), and was played at Padeswood & Buckley GC on Thursday, 17th September, in warm sunny conditions.
Padeswood & Buckley Captain Mark Stewart welcomed both teams and highlighted the course’s remarkable improvement in recent weeks after the hot, dry summer. Despite the challenging greens, they were in excellent condition, and both teams enjoyed playing the course.
We all shared an excellent meal and enjoyed the fellowship.
Our Association Captain, John Evans, echoed Mark Stewart’s remarks and hoped everyone had enjoyed themselves.
MDGC Captain Keith Walmsley said the matches had taken several years to arrange and marked the group’s first visit to Wales. He thanked his playing partners, Paul Boulton, John Evans and Daniel Stone, for an excellent match and said he thoroughly enjoyed the experience and their company.
MDGC Captain thanked both Match Secretary’s Steve Mc Dermott and Mike Holland for organising this year’s match.
The result of the match was won by MDGC 5 & 3
