West Vets draw with Midland Vets to retain the Mid-West Trophy at Ranfurly Castle Golf Club

West Vets Team

Midland Vets Team

The West Vets (10 to 15 h'cap) team played the Midlands Vets team for The Mid West Trophy yesterday at Ranfurly Castle.  This is always a good day and all the matches were played in great spirit but as always were very competitive.
We all met for coffee and bacon rolls before the first pairing teed off at 11am.
There are seven singles matches played off scratch.  This match has been played for many years, but we now have a Trophy to play for which was donated by our current Secretary Sheila Shaw.  The first 4 years the Trophy was won by Midlands the next 2 years by the West and this year's match was tied at 3.5 matches each and as such, the West, as current holders of the Trophy, retain it for another year.  The course was in excellent condition and the weather was perfect. A good day was enjoyed by all.
