Three County events played with only one success for Haverhill in the past week and that one coming from the most unexpected quarter. The Hambro Cup away game at The Suffolk was always going to be difficult but after being two holes down at lunch a further one added during the afternoon session meant the end of the line for this year. At Coupals Road in the Tolly Cobbold Cup, the home team held a slender one hole lead at the halfway stage but it was the visitors, a young Woodbridge team, who played for position and swung the match in their favour, returning to Ipswich with a three up victory. The Cranworth Cup, played by the ladies, uses a slightly different formula. Instead of foursomes all day, the second session switches to singles matchplay, and nobody really expected Haverhill to go to Woodbridge and win, but with a three-point lunchtime lead the six visiting players added a further two points to the differential to record a 25 - 20 points winning margin. Linda Bugg lost several balls throughout the day but, along with Marion Kendall, both achieved a maximum of five points in the singles, and Pat Kennedy was only half a point shy of the same total. Considering three matches had to give away five shots during the singles segment, Haverhill deserved a result which will now see them rewarded with a home match against either Felixstowe Ferry or Gorleston. During the week the Seniors played two home matches against Fynn Valley and The Suffolk. Both resulted in wins for the home team by 6 - 2 and 4½ - 3½. Ex World Champion table tennis player John Leach may be turned 80 years of age, but he still enjoys competing. This reflected in his efforts at the 119 yards, eighth hole, where his seven wood tee shot was despatched straight into the cup for an ace during his weekly round. The results of the Ladies May Stableford were as follows:- 36 pts: P.Smith, D.Darbey 34 pts: M.Parmenter 33 pts: L.Wasdall 32 pts: S.Carr, L.Bugg 30 pts: P.Ratford 28 pts: M.Kendall 27 pts: M.

In a closely fought match the final result being 3 games to 2. In the opening Curry Cup game, Haverhill travelled to Harwich and, on a very tight course, lost out by 15 points to 6. The Peggy McGhee Cup was a team event and was won by Gordon and Sheila Price who played alongside Derek Thomas and finished with 109 stableford points. The runners up with 106 points had to be decided on countback and this went in favour of Pat Kennedy, Bill Lancee and Josh Brown over Pam Smith, Ian Smith and Craig Sisson.

The 36 hole Foundation Cup competition was building up to an exciting finale after day one but ended up being a bit of a damp squib after some torrential downpours and flash flooding at Coupals Road. After the first eighteen there were 16 players under par which included one lady in the form of Pam Smith but was to reduce by one with the overnight disqualification of Daniel Edwards for an administrative error. All of the field started on day two but less than 50% returned cards as the round was interrupted because of extreme weather conditions. The event is due to be rescheduled in the near future. On Friday the visitors to Haverhill were the Newmarket NAGS who managed the one win in a 5 - 1 defeat to the local Seniors in a 4BBB match. The final of the Mixed Foursomes, which had started last October, was played on Friday afternoon. Mick Harrington and Marilyn Parmenter soon took charge and going down the 11th fairway they were three holes up against Eamon Bareham and Frances Smith. From that stage on though there came a reversal of fortunes as Eamon and Frances hit top form and turned a potential rout into a 3 & 1 win.

Haverhill's week fizzled out on Saturday when heavy rain flooded the course and the mixed match against Bourn was called off.

Last weeks match results did not make the best of reading for the Haverhill club members, six games played and only one won. After losing 6-0 away to Girton mid week the Seniors recorded the only win when they beat Cambridgeshire Moat House 4½-3½ on Friday at Coupals Road. The ladies took two defeats, both at home, as they lost first to Stowmarket by 3-1 and then 4-0 against Waterbeach. The Suffolk Under 14s organiser, David Duffel, could not remember the Suffolk Boys beating the home club at Haverhill before but Sunday's result was 6½-5½ in favour of Suffolk. Harry Mills, who is in the Suffolk squad, played for the club on his own course and at one stage was five holes down before putting in a sustained effort which saw him walk off the 18th green two up. Full marks also to Haverhill's Daniel Poulton who was playing in his first club match. Fully aware the whole result hung on his game, he kept trying but to no avail, finally losing out by two holes. Saturday's Stenson Trophy match against Bury St. Edmunds was all square after the morning foursomes but a mini disaster in the following singles saw Haverhill exit the competition. Pam Ratford and Marilyn Parmenter returned 41 stableford points in the ladies Tunisian Salvers event which was three ahead of runners up Pam Smith and Theresa Spittle. The winning pair now go to Saffron Walden where they will play in the regional finals. Another pair also off to a regional final are Wendy Wilderspin and Ted Fairhead victors of the local heat of the Douglas Bader Cup. Four points clear of Steve Nichols and Pam Ratford (36pts.) and one further in front of third pair Eamon Bareham and Shirley Andrews will see them at Ely City later in the year. Saturday's Yellow Tee Stableford saw Helen Rankin take the ladies prize for the second successive week. Andy Softley also achieved the same feat winning the higher men's section whilst Steve Lowe took the lower. The results of the mid week medal were as follows:- Mid Week Medal Div 1: 68 T.Farrant, D.Edwards 69 A.Carter, P.Gardiner 70 G.Norris, T.Strowger 71 D.Harkness, S.Moye 72 D.Pipe, C.Sisson 73 C.Frazier, J.Kennedy 74 M.Warren 75 J.Thomson, P.Houchen 76 S.Tatum 80 S.Williamson Div 2: 65 M.Kelly 67 A.Softley 68 R.Turner 69 G.Dorkins, S.Rex 70 D.Cohen 71 G.Carroll, S.King 72 J.Brown 73 S.Tarrant 74 J.Carr 75 A.A.Smith, L.Chandler 76 E.Fairhead, M.Dalena 77 B.Fox Div 3: 71 I.Raper, F.Robertson 72 B.Shuter 73 J.Goldsmith 75 D.Norton, J.Kendall 76 N.Heath, P.Deane, D.Hardy 77 D.Olive 78 S.Goldsmith 79 G.Thomas, H.Thompson 80 M.McGarr 82 J.Smith, L.Parkin

Haverhill men's teams had a double win last week in County competitions played at Coupals Road. The first visitors were Gorleston, who faced the Seniors in the Parks Trophy which is a 4BBB event played over 18 holes by teams of eight players. Paul Loomes and Roger Campbell got the local team of to a good start, winning their match by three holes and with the next two pairs also adding four and a further five holes respectively, it all added up to a positive twelve up at end of play. The results being (Haverhill names first):- Loomes & Campbell beat Clayton & McCarthy 3 up Wallace & Felton beat Ridsdale & Battershill 4 up Walker & Bates beat Platten & Cadmore 5 up Carter & Rennie halved with Lawson & Pattison On Sunday it was a change of partner for Paul Wallace when he teamed up with Tim Farrant in the Tolly Cobbold Cup. Again, this was a team event, but this time the discipline was foursomes. Flempton were the opponents, and it was only a slender margin of 4 holes which saw the Coupals squad leading at the half way point. A tactical change of order for the afternoon session saw Haverhill pick up 6 further holes, which ensured a place in the next round of this knockout competition against Woodbridge, who came away from Gorleston with a narrow 2 hole victory. The days results for Haverhill were:- Pickup & Thomson beat Fry & Ellis 3 up West & Lyons beat Kirby & Mitchell 1 up Wallace & Farrant beat Dunn & Ramsay 4 up Wallace & Farrant beat Field & Jaggard 2 up Kennedy & Pipe lost to Field & Jaggard 3 down Kennedy & Pipe beat Dunn & Ramsay 3up Mid week the Seniors travelled to Royston and were only one game short of a whitewash in a 4BBB match. The result was 7 games to 1. Steven Moye and John Whittaker took the two sections of the Yellow Tee stableford, whilst the Ladies competing in the Weston Trophy against Diss fell at the last hurdle. The match ended all square, but a sudden death hole saw Haverhill into second spot. A healthy field of Juniors took to the first tee on Saturday lunchtime playing in the Spring Cup. Five handicap Ryan Wingate produced a very good round of 64, some six shots below par, but had to settle for second spot in the medal event to Josh Dashwood, who returned a massive 17 under par score of 53. Harry Mills, Aaron Tokley, Tony Weller and David Spittle also returned sub par cards. Three stableford points separated the winner and runner up in the second section. Paul Tabrar had 49 points against Jack Warwick's 46 points. Leah Nichols led in the girls group with the Wasdall sisters Laura and Melissa in close pursuit. On a hot afternoon, the two youngest and smallest girl competitors, Paige Burgess and Hannah Mills ,both completed their rounds returning full cards. The results of the Ladies April Stableford & Health Perception were:- Ladies April Stableford & Health Perception 41 pts E.Hopewell 37 pts S.Price 33 pts M.Mercer, P.Mills, D.Darbey 32 pts L.Bugg, J.Worthington, D.Walker, G.Richardson 31 pts M.Sail, L.Fish, S.Renyard, A.Thompson, M.Parmenter 30 pts R.Brazier 28 pts D.Kerchiss 27 pts R.Debnam 26 pts A.Ludlow, B.Greaves, D.Williams 25 pts C.Gardner, B.Reynolds 23 pts A.Campbell, D.Walters 21 pts S.Andrews, J.Pitkin 20 pts M.Kendall

Saturday saw a rerun of the inaugural competition for 'The Captain's Trophy' which had been abandoned three weeks earlier due to high winds which had brought down trees on the course. The event is for teams of four led by Past Club Captains and the scoring is the best three stableford points recorded at each hole. Despite having to draft in a super sub. in the shape of John Kennedy, as Andy Craig was unavailable, the team of '84 and '87 Captain, Doug Renyard returned a level par score of 108 thanks to some good golf from Michael White and Tim Farrant along with John. It was fitting that the trio left the last putt to their Captain who made a three footer which relegated Jim Walker, Peter Carter and Bill Lancee who accompanied Eric Kiddle, into second spot. Third place on 106 went to Dickie Woolmer who's team was Louis Woolmer, Tony Bird and Paul Loomes. Other leading scores were:- 106 Nichols,Chapman, Turley & Cohen 104 Turner, Klingle, Spittle & McGarr, Campbell, Sargeant, Wallace & Tarrant 103 Webb, Ranson, Thomas & Parris 93 Pollitt, Pollitt, Gordon & Layland. The men's Winter Foursomes Final was played shortly before the Captain's event and in a closely fought round it was Peter Garner and Mark Stanton who came out on top. The final result was 2 up over Gordon Price and Derek Thomas. Sandwiched in between these two competitions was a Hambro trial match against near neighbours, Saffron Walden. Five prospective pairings for Hambro selection competed and the result was a 4 - 1 win for Haverhill with both duos of Robert Scott/ Andy Bareham and Andy Fish/ Andrew Underwood finishing four holes up in their individual games. Whilst there was all the above activity on the course the popular Saturday, Yellow Tee Stableford returned. Tim Daniels with 40 points took the low section and with one more point it was Andy Softley who captured the higher group. The ladies winner was Helen Rankin. Kevin Eldred booked his place in the regional finals of the Lombard Trophy on Sunday morning when he shot a nett 62 medal round. In June, Kevin will go to Bishops Stortford and play alongside Club Professional Nick Duc in a 4BBB in which they will be looking for a score to get them to the National Finals at San Lorenzo in the Algarve.
