Horsley Lodge vs Beeston Fields (Away)  

Tuesday 9th June 2026

The Seniors made the short trip to Horsley Lodge for what proved to be a lively, weather‑buffeted and thoroughly competitive encounter on a course that always demands accuracy, patience, and—on this occasion—a sense of humour.

Unfortunately, the day began with a result that will no doubt feature heavily in the Captain’s end‑of‑season review. Phil Harrison and Richard Bursztyn were on the receiving end of an emphatic 8&7 defeat in the opening match. No excuses offered, none required—just a brisk return to the practice ground and a determination to put things right next time.

To their immense credit, the rest of the Beeston Fields team refused to let this early setback define the day. What followed was a series of gritty, determined and at times excellent performances across the board.

Match Highlights

The standout win came in Match 3, where Lance Rosie and John Swan delivered a superb 6&4 victory, combining steady ball‑striking with smart matchplay to overwhelm their opponents.

In Match 6, Dave Bonser and Andy Lowe produced a composed and confident 4&2 win, managing the tricky Horsley greens with real assurance.

There was another strong performance in Match 2, where Tony Gilbert and Ade Firth secured a tidy 3&2 victory, using their shots wisely and keeping the pressure firmly on the home side.

The final Beeston point came in Match 8, where Tim Hawkins and Mike Gilbert combined brilliantly for a 3&2 win, rounding off the morning with a flourish.

Elsewhere, several matches were tight affairs that could have swung either way, with narrow defeats in Matches 4, 5 and 7 preventing Beeston from edging ahead overall.

Final Score

Horsley Lodge 4 – 4 Beeston Fields

A very creditable away draw on a challenging course in equally challenging weather conditions. The team showed resilience, spirit and no shortage of quality after a difficult start, and the shared points were well deserved.

Another enjoyable day out for the Seniors, and sincere thanks to all who represented Beeston Fields with commitment, humour and distinction.
