Frilford V Oxford University

Sunday 7th March 2010

Frilford Heath proved too strong for the Oxford University students in the annual fixture held on the Red course on a bright cold day.
A heavy frost meant that the morning foursomes had to be cancelled leaving the match to be contested with 10 singles matches.
BB&O Junior Order of Merit champion, Joe Richardson, set the tone with an impressive 6 & 5 victory for the home side over University captain, Oliver Stephen. Fellow BB&O Junior, Dean Newbold claimed a half in the second match. Frilford veterans, Jimmy Wilson and Derek Walton followed with comfortable wins over Calum Slowther and Ben Twiney. Alex Gavrilovic, Paul Dolton and Simon Alcock, on his return to the Frilford team, completed the victory.
The university are now preparing for the annual varsity match at Royal Porthcawl later this month.
