WORLEBURY GC
CRICKET ST THOMAS
Congratulations to Worlebury Golf Club on winning an incredible 4th Somerset Bowl in 5 years after overcoming doughty resistance from a spirited Cricket St Thomas team.
A violent storm over Clevedon closed the course for 45 minutes in the morning resulting, in tee times being pushed back accordingly. Claire Hobbs in the Pro Shop did a magnificent job in managing the first tee, so the teams were ready to start at the scheduled time of 2pm. By this time, the sun had reappeared, and the teams were going to have to contend with hot and humid conditions!
The early advantages went to Worlebury but they were never able to create a convincing lead over their opponents. Cricket St Thomas had reached the final the hard way, never having the benefit of a home advantage in the earlier rounds. As the players reached the halfway stage, Worlebury were up in three games, down in one with one all square.
They retained their advantage to the end and claimed the victory in the valley having secured the points necessary to retain the Trophy. This was presented to their Captain James Marshall by SGU Vice President Richard Dix, a long-standing member of Clevedon Golf Club.
In his acceptance speech, James congratulated Cricket St Thomes on a friendly yet competitive match, played in the best traditions of golf in Somerset. He also thanked the SGU for their organisation and was fulsome in his praise for the condition of the course as well as the welcome from all the staff at Clevedon.
Both teams and their supporters enjoyed a drink on the terrace before departing for home.

Simon Dempsey and Terry Santo v Jason Contreras and Shane Scott
Joe Doyle and Troy Young v Jamie Fletcher and Jon Lord

It has been agreed by the clubs that the 2024 inter-club knockouts will be played on a home/away basis with home advantage being decided by a coin toss, conducted by a representative of the South Western Counties Golf Association. We will look to fix neutral venues for semi-finals and finals.
Home captains/managers will be responsible for arranging each fixture with a choice/flexibility of dates being available. Please play every round by the play by date and submit the results immediately by email to; "secretary@somersetgolfunion.co.uk".
Only in exceptional circumstances will a short extension to the rounds play by date be considered and if any fixture remains unplayed by its play by date the result will be decided by coin toss.
Tee times at many courses are limited due to demand. Please make every effort to complete you fixture at the earliest opportunity.
THE DRAW FOR THE 2024 KNOCKOUT WILL BE ANNOUNCED AT THE COUNTY AGM IN FEBRUARY
Created by intelligentgolf version 10.1.2.
