| OF Golfing Irregulars Hold-off Strong Ipswichian Challenge |

 The ninth annual golfing battle between Norman Porter's OF team and Karl Daniels' OI team took place at Woodbridge Golf Club yesterday. The OFs went into this feeling pretty confident - after all, they were 6-2 up in the series. However, Karl's men had obviously been drilled and coached extensively, and the six sets of Four-Ball-Better-Ball were all closely fought right to the final green. There was nervousness about the result, on both sides, as we sat down to dinner - the two captains playing their cards close to their chests - and palpable relief when Karl announced that the result was a draw.
Woodbridge Golf Club had, as ever, been wonderfully welcoming (no least because of the substantial number of members playing for each team), and the course had been in superb condition - a great credit to the greens staff given the region's drought conditions.
The OF team was: Norman Porter (captain and selector); Norman Mayhew; Roger Askew; Ian Bryce; Peter Howard-Dobson; Chris Milner-Moore; Martin Lamb; Dudley Holland; Robin Anderton, Norman Dodd; Brian Evans and Michael Spencer.
The OFs retain the handsome trophy - and there's talk of something even grander to mark next year's 10th anniversary match!
