Stuart Fitzjohn and Gerald Cox had a convincing 4&3 win, but Albert Jacobs and Rod Filby lost by one hole.

Jim Dobson and Robert Sampson came in last with a good 3&2 win to round off the victory.

  • Spalding’s senior side followed that win up with a battling half against Belton Park.

Gould and Jacobs found the going tough, but came home with a half. Neil Wilkinson, now back on form, and Sampson had a good win 4&3 – as did Roger Davey and Lester Pybus.

Dobson and Hunt suffered a rare 2&1 defeat, while Steve Leggett and Filby could not get the scores together and lost 3&2.
