Our annual fixture against the College was played at Royal Eastbourne GC. At 8-a-side, we played fourball better-ball matchplay, in many cases with the OEs receiving shots off their lower handicap opponents. David Dunn and Chris Walker were thankful to halve with the Shakespeare brothers in a very low scoring match. Ian Henley and Rob Petrides lost but magnificent victories by Peter Henley and Colin Farrant and also Tony Dunn and Iryna Photiou mean that the OE team came out on top by 2.5 matches to 1.5. Our thanks go to all the pupils who played against us and Alex Roberts, the Master in Charge of Golf, for organising their team. We were all very impressed by the play of the (in some cases very young) College team and their excellent behaviour.
