Results - 2008 - Inter-Club Mixed Foursomes

Played at Bulbury Woods GC on Sunday 17 August 2008.

During one of the wettest Augusts on record the rain stayed away for this years Inter-Club Mixed Foursomes at Bulbury Woods GC.  With a some what poor entry to this years Inter-Club event from the clubs around the county the event was again played in two sections of Scratch and Handicap.  First out were the scratch pairings and in first was the ladies captain Pip Duncan and her partner James having played a considerable amount of golf! Bob and Maureen Dilkes became early clubhouse leaders with a very commendable 77John Welch & Fern Grimshaw followed in by John Welch and Fern Grimshaw from Weymouth with a fine 75 which was just enough to hold off the challenge from the Came Down pairing of Rowan Smith and Sue Cox with a 76.

So the trophy has finally been prised away from Broadstone and goes to Weymouth in the safe hands of John and Fern lets hope they can defend the title next year.
