OAGS at Halford Hewitt 2015
14 April 2015
Members of the Old Aldenhamian Golf Society (OAGS) beat King Edward’s Birmingham 3 ½ - 1 ½ on Thursday 9th April '15 and played Berkhamsted the next day. It was a magnificent match, one of the best ever, but in the end, they had to accept defeat 2-3. The 1st and 3rd pairs won and the 2nd and 4th pairs lost, so everything depended on the 5th pair, Robert Alter (B1988-91) and David Rawlinson(B1988-93). They ended up all square on the 18th and had to go down the 19th. The quality of the golf was outstanding and after 5 of the extra holes were halved, the 6th proved too difficult and the OAs couldn’t match the Berkhamsted par so the match was theirs after 5 hours and 30 minutes.Congratulations rather than commiserations to Shon Williams (M1975-80) and his team for a wonderful display in which everyone played their part.
