Bob Webber – Ben Lynch
As is evidenced by the fixture list, this annual bun fight should have taken place on April 10th. This and other matches, as we all know too well, had to be postponed because of terrible weather this winter. With recent drier conditions the match has been squeezed in prior to Bob Webber finishing his year at Tavistock next week. Fortunately, for some of us, buggies were available enabling a full field of 40 players, with some eight or so substitutes from the original teams, many thanks to them! The course, as is with many others this year, is not yet at its best but has generally recovered well from rain and snow. The usual badinage accompanied most matches but were played in good spirit, considering this is a ‘family do’. At this time there are no individual results to hand, suffice to say there was a convenient half in the match overall.
The usual complimentary remarks by both sides were reflected in the closing speeches and, for many, anticipation around the corner for President’s Day at Tavistock to compete for the coveted Andrew Bowl.
