Saurines Slayed as HDA take the Sofia Sherwood Trophy!

The victorious HDA team with the Sofia Sherwood Trophy.

So, after returning to HDA with a slender 1up advantage from the away leg, the HDA team played the deciding second leg against Saurines on Monday 26 September.

The stakes were high as the 22 payers on either side took to the course to do 'battle' for the Sofia Sherwood trophy!

On a beautiful autumn afternoon the ladies and men of HDA held their nerve to take the tie 7 1/2 to 3 1/2... winning the overall match and the trophy 5up! What a fantastic achievement... congratulations to the team!

The Saurines Team... still dreaming of their first win!

HDA team captain Andrew Haigh would like to thank -

• Louise Haigh and Jan Forbes-McDowell for running the halfway house.
  

• Gary Sherwood for the Sofia Sherwood trophy sponsorship and the celebratory champagne!!!
  

• Alan, Gerry and the Saurines team for their good humour and great sportsmanship in the match.
