2024 GC Inter‐Club Final BOWDON V NOTTINGHAM

by Ian Burridge Captain, Nottingham

This match was played on Saturday September 28th at Bowdon. Ian Burridge gave the visitors a good start with victory over Nigel Matthews. When Lorna Dewar followed this up with a close 7‐6 7‐6 victory over Angharrad Walters the visitors, who had certainly begun as underdogs, probably became slight favourites to win the match. Jack Good and J‐P Moberly won the doubles in straight games to set up what was likely to be a close finish in the afternoon. After lunch James Death and Euan Burridge both quickly went game up but at the bottom Bowdon's fortunes had reversed with both Angharrad and Nigel winning their opening afternoon games. James sealed his match against Jack in straight games to give Nottingham a 3‐1 lead with all the other matches going to a third. Ian and Euan were both ahead throughout their deciders with Euan clinching the title for Nottingham, before Ian also won with Nigel claiming a consolation win for the hosts. Nottingham won 5‐2. Croquet England Vice President Colin Irwin presented the trophy. It is Nottingham's 4th success in the event.
