Beeston Fields vs Kedleston Park (Away)

Thursday 21st May 2026

The Seniors made an excellent start at Kedleston Park, sweeping the opening four pairings to guarantee at least a draw before lunch had even settled. Dave Bull set the tone in Match 1, producing a standout performance as he and Phil Harrison secured a confident 2&1 win.

In Match 2, John Swan lit up the fairways with a pair of birdies, helping partner Rob McWilliam to another fine victory 3&2. This was followed by solid, composed wins from Drew Armstrong & Anil Patani 2&1, and Graham Pretty & Bill Hurrell 3&2, giving Beeston a commanding early lead.

Kedleston weren’t done, though. The home side rallied strongly, taking the next three matches and narrowing the gap to 4–3. That left Match 8 carrying the weight of the day — and what a finish it produced. Phil Mawson and Andy Lowe, four down at one stage, mounted a superb comeback to win 1 up on the last, sealing an excellent 5–3 away victory on a course in magnificent condition.

Many thanks to all who played.

And now for the important news:

• Everybody paid for the meal this time.

• No‑one was caught spying on the opposition’s practice rounds.

• And finally — after some gentle encouragement from John Swan — Rich Gibney attempted to impress the Kedleston Captain by showing off his new tattoo. Please note: this is not expected to become standard Seniors‑Section behaviour.
