This was one of the closest matches either I or the Somerset Captain had seen. Every single match went to the 17th or 18th holes. However, in the end Somerset ran out the winners by 4 games to 3. The match was played in lovely weather, there was a wind but you’d expect that at Trevose, and the course was in outstanding condition.

Match versus Dorset 17th June 2019 at Bude and North Cornwall.
This was a cool June day, it tried to rain whilst on the first tee but then remained fine for the match.
Dorset could only field 6 pairs so Cornwall started the match 1 up. All players found the course hard but it was in good condition and everyone had a good game. This time Cornwall won and won well 6 games to 1.
