After the short New Forest League men’s program finished at the end of July, the season continued with the League trophy events. The squad were narrowly beaten in the first round of The Ringwood Shield by Highcliffe. This defeat gave us the satisfaction of qualifying for the plate trophy, The Ivor Fourmy Trophy. This enabled us to defend the Trophy we won last year.
In the first round of the Home/ Away format we had a close match against Lymington, which we won by seven shots. In the next round, on 22nd August, the lads battled through the miserable weather to comfortably win against New Milton, with a shot difference at home of 30 in our favour and 20 away – total victory of 50 shots. Hooray, we are in the final on 14th September at Fordingbridge BC. playing either Highcliffe B or Lyndhurst A.
