The best that can be said of the day at Denham is that the course was in great condition, the lunch was superb and we avoided the forecast rain, as the Captain said in her post-match speech. Sadly, the London Stock Exchange prevailed once again.
The morning foursomes saw the teams go into lunch at 3-3, with good wins by Alex Heath and Steven Spencer (3 and 2), Jan Rommer and Martin Watkins (1 up) and Jake Doran and Bill Green (1 up).
With all to play for in the afternoon singles, the LMEGA saw themselves in the lead at the fifth of the twelve singles. Wins by Brian Woodbridge (7 & 6), double winner Jake Doran (2 & 1), David Hardy (6 & 4) and a half by Jan Rommer left the LMEGA on 6 ½ - 4 ½ with 7 matches to come. In a strong counter attack, the LSE won the 6th, 7th and 8th matches to go ahead by 1 before David Farrar won the 9th match by 4 & 3 to draw level again at 7 ½ each. A victory was not to be, however, as the last three matches all went to the LSE, who retained the trophy by 10 ½ - 7 ½.
