As you can see by the result, the Pyecombe boys were up for it. In the morning round Phil Hubble & Trevor Greenfield must have really upset their opponents by getting a half on the second hole after taking a drop. To make matters worse, Trevor hit a sand-iron onto the tenth green ten foot pass the hole and then watched as the backspin zipped into the hole for an eagle two.
There were good ;wins from the newest members of the team, Julian Deans & Ian Taylor; also from the stalwarts John Deacon & Andy Barnes. Michael Stoner had a fantastic win over ex-pro Jamie Donaldson. Overall, it was a great achievment by the team and we wish them every success in the semi-finals.
Final result: Pyecombe won 9-3 and go through to the semi-finals.
This is the second time in 9 years Pye have reached the semi's, & the 8th time in 9 years that we have reached the quarter finals.
