HAMBRO AND TOLLY ROUND UP
The Sunday just gone saw Suffolk clubs compete in the Hambro and Tolly Cobbold Cups, both of which are handicap foursomes knock-out competitions.
In the Hambro, a competition for single figure players, only six fixtures took place due to a number of byes and a walk-over for Halesworth because The Suffolk GC were unable to raise a team,. In one excellent match hosts Seckford managed a memorable win by just one hole over 13 time champions Ipswich. It was an impressive performance away at Ufford Park that saw Stowmarket go through by 6 holes. Home wins saw Bury st Edmunds and Bungay move through against Haverhill and Rookery Park respectively whilst also into the next round went Woodbridge and Flempton. The next rounds are due to take place on Sunday 26th May.
Twelve fixtures took place in the Tolly Cobbold Cup with a few dominant victories. Rushmere travelled away to Brett Vale and won 31 up. A big away win too for Haverhill by 20 at Hintlesham, whilst Diss and Thorpeness both won at home by 18 to Seckford and Aldeburgh. Wins also for Ipswich, Fynn Valley, Bury St Eds, St Clements, Halesworth, Flempton, Woodbridge and defending champions Rookery Park. These teams will advance to the next round on Sunday 26th May.
