The annual match against LISEGS was played at Berkhamsted in steamy, almost tropical conditions, threatening thunder at any moment, although none came, thank goodness. Fortunately for many, Berkhamsted has no sand bunkers, sand not being native to the common. 

LISEGS brought with them the Beckermet Trophy, a magnificent lump of iron ore that came from the West Cumberland Iron Field that flourished between 1903 and 1973. 

The match opened with a Greensomes competition which ended 3 1/2 to 1/2 in favour of the LME, the half being a brilliant fightback by LISEGS from dormie three down. The other three matches were all won 4 and 3.

Sadly, this was in a losing cause, the afternoon singles falling to the LMEGA despite two victories by LISEGS and a half by Seamus O'Connell. in the other five matches Neal Avent (4&3), Derek Raphael (5&4), Allan Kerr (4&2), Steven Spencer (6&4) and your Captain, Ashok Singhania (6&4) all won convincingly making the afternoon score 5 1/2 - 2 1/2 and the final result 9 - 3 to the LMEGA.

The trophy thus returns to Finsbury Square where it may be gazed upon by and hopefully incentivise members to turn out for matches in future.
