Results of the U-Boat

Big upset the holders are out, but they fought on until the 22 hole before Robin Day and Tony Daly overcame them.

I told Mike Smith that he should be smiling this morning as his paring with a fellow 12 handicapper Chris Hatherly made them the pre-tournament favourites, and they delivered a 6 and 5 victory over John Watt and Steve Aldren.

I know some people were not too happy about changing the team at the last minute due to drop outs. I took the view that to have 4 teams pull out before the first round was not the best approach for this competition. And after all it is supposed to be a fun event.
