Old Shirburnians

Date:26th April 2008 at 09:30
Venue:The Berkshire G.C.

Result: Lost 7 1/2 4 1/12

Blessed by a flawless early summer day,  2 well qualified (12 per side) teams found The Berkshire in its prime. The  morning round was fairly evenly matched with the

OS shading it  3 1/2  2 1/2. The OT captain (me) reminded the well-lunched ensemble of the OT's customary habit of turning it around, but this time to no avail.

The result, and the opposition labrador at one point picking up an OT ball, in  now way diminished the usual excellent camaraderie that accompanies this popular fixture, now hopefully firmly embedded in its new and splendid venue at Ascot
