Stoke Rochford Golf Club’s seniors team extend their 27-game unbeaten home record

Stoke Rochford Seniors started their centenary campaign by extending their 27-match unbeaten home run with a 5.5-2.5 success over Sleaford.

The record looked in danger when the first two combinations lost their games but none of the other six pairs were beaten.

The captain has introduced a 'penalty' for any bunker hit on the 12th hole which will contribute to the Alzheimer's Society and £4 was collected after this match. Graham Manton won nearest the pin.

Stoke results: Glyn Staines and Stephen Major lost 2&1, John Martindale and Keith Eldred lost 2&1, Steve Anderson and Mike Nixon won one up, Graham Manton and Darrell Knight won one up, Barry Rohland and Howard Ludbrook won 5&4, Eddie Plant and Martin Harvey won 2&1, Jim Price and Don Werner halved, Andy Edwards and Keith Dugmore won 5&4.
