Development Squad fight backto draw with Gloucestershire

Development have to dig deep at Weston

The Development squad had to dig deep to secure a draw against Gloucestershire after a disappointing performance in the morning Foursomes, finding themselves 3.1 down with the first three pairings losing their respective legs 4.3 it was left to Brock and Martin to bring home the first point with a 4.2 win in the last Foursomes match of the morning.

 Recognition of the need for a vast improvement in the afternoon singles saw the lads rally to win 5 of the 8 singles to secure a 6.6 draw , credit must go to the players for such an improvement but equally they must realise that chasing a 2 point deficit with only 8 singles matches is always going to be an extremely difficult task.

A massive thank you to Weston-super-Mare for hosting the match, and also to Gloucestershire for allowing us to reschedule to allow our Vice Captain to fulfil his duties with the First Team at Trevose. Great sportsmanship and much appreciated.

 A reasonable season for the development with 1 loss away to Gwent , 1 win away to Devon and today's half against Gloucester .

 My thanks to all the players who have supported the development squad this season and continued self improvement for all is the ongoing agenda .
