Match Reports

Golf/Bridge match vs Wimbledon Common Ladies – 6th July

The Roehampton Club ladies won the Golf 3-1 and the Bridge by a large margin of 82imps – a very good result all round.

Congratulations to Corrina Evers (Captain), Stephanie Wood, Alison Post, Pammy Rayment, Angela Elliott, Jenny Gaskin, Margaret Swain, and Caroline Fairnie.

I am told the day was great fun and the lunch was delicious!

Croquet/Bridge match vs Hurlingham – 7th July

Ron Reports:

‘Last Friday, on one of the hottest days so far in July, we enjoyed a friendly (but competitive none-the-less) croquet and bridge match against Hurlingham. We were the hosts this year and managed to beat our guests at both the golf croquet in the morning and teams of four bridge in the afternoon. For lunch, our Chef had invented a new dish called ‘Poached Salmon Poke Bowl’ which was absolutely delicious!

Our team was: Ron Wood and Nigel Aspinall, Tim Russell and Adrienne Sackin, Jacqueline Pearson and Andrew Wilson, Tony and Gill Salem.’

Congratulations to the team for their win.
