Meanwhile the Tolly Cobbold cup had reached the same stage. At Stowmarket Fynn Valley overcame Haverhill by 17 holes as they eased their way into the final; At Felixstowe Ferry the other semi final delivered a cliff hanger between Thorpeness and Rushmere. With the last pair on the course Thorpeness needed to win the last hole to force a play off. A par was achieved by them which Rushmere did not match so a play off was called for. Both the first and second holes were halved in nerve tangling fashion. The third play off hole saw Thorpeness hole a putt from I am told 4 feet or so and unlucky Rushmere missed a similar length putt sending Thorpeness into the final.

The final will be held at Rookery Park Golf Club (9,30am tee off) Sunday 18 August.
