Longman Cup Semi Final
Our AC handicap team of Alex, Nick, David and Jerome had a good run in reaching the semi final of the Longman Cup by soundly beating Ashby, scoring a remarkable 7-0.
In the semi finals they played Southport who generously agreed to waive their right to hold the fixture on their home lawns in view of the distance from Newport.
Edgbaston kindly hosted the fixture.
The game was tightly contested. A 3-0 deficit in the morning was too much to come back from and with wins from Alex and Jerome, we ended up losing 5-2.
Well played Southport and hope you show Hurlingham how it's done!
Hedge Trimming - Friday 5 September
10 members turned up and did a great job trimming the Leylandi and generally tidying up the borders.
Well done all.
August Antics
Trevor receiving his winners bottle of Prosecco from Des
NCCs first fun day for a while, August Antics, got off to a flying start under sunny blue skies with 16 players battling it out in five games of rotating doubles.
By lunchtime there were two players winning all their matches, Trevor and Des.
After a gargantuan buffet lunch which included: some delicious salads and Bishop's coleslaw, Shirley's infamous sausage rolls, Penny's tomato salad and Glenys' star rated crustless quiche, play restarted at two under threatening skies.
At close of play five players vied for first position, Trevor, Des , John Hall, Paula and Rory.
On games won, 5 out of 5 won, Trevor came first and carried off the bottle of Prosecco.
Congratulations Trevor and well done to everyone else who came to enjoy the day.
