The semi-final opponent was Gedney Hill from Lincolnshire who provided tough opposition with the match being halved. Redden and Pain both winning their matches.

It was Redden, the lowest handicapper, who was thrust to the fore in the sudden death play-off and on the first hole with a par saw the team into the final.

Finals day dawned after more heavy overnight rain and although no wind the course was far from dry. Their opponents were Leominster who had won their semi against Bridport and West Dorset.

The team once more halved the match with Pain and Girling being the victors.

Yet again the sacrificial lamb was Redden and into the play-off, he went. He kept his nerve, and hitting the green and two-putting was enough to secure the Championship for the team, and the Club at the first play-off hole.
