Although Axe Cliff notched up a notable 5-1 win, the return match at Vivary Park could test the Axe Cliff players, as good straight play will be essential on the Vivary fairways which are much narrower than the Axe Cliff course.

The two team captains swapped a modest joke during the after dinner pleasantries and the whole day was concluded in good spirits.
