Stragglers march on

In-form Saltford Stragglers continued their impressive run with a draw at home to Bath Golf Club.

It stretches their unbeaten run to a record five game and it is the first time they have gone a month unbeaten.

But the match got off to a bad start for the home team as John Taylor and Roger Lucy lost 2 up quickly followed by defeat for Colin Meek and Howard Stockall by 2 and 1.

Dennis Payter and Chris Reeves notched up the Stragglers first point with their 4 and 3 win while Brian Collings and Colin Salvage halved their game.

It all rested on the last game where Marcus Woodward and David Abel defeated their one opponent. The Bath man had to give a lot of shots but put up a brave fight only going down 3 and 1.

Emotional captain Dennis Payter, who was overcome with joy, said: "I am really proud of the lads they done good."

Now the Stragglers look to extend their unbeaten run with a tough away game at Filton where they drew last year
