Scratch league

4-4 on Sunday was unfortunately not good enough to take this year’s title in the scratch league. The final match of the year with Wellingborough at home was winner takes all and it went to the last match on the course.

Recent report

Closing in on the end of the season we have two matches to Report. They both ended in draws against Kingsthorpe and then Staverton.

The home match against Kirby Muxloe was postponed because of heavy rain and we are currently looking to rearrange it for 27th October.

Before that we have the now annual fixture against the Dawn Patrol at which the Seniors will be looking to gain revenge for the drubbing received last year.

The Seniors are currently holders of the Northampton Seniors Challenge having won it in 2015 and 2016.

This year sees them defend the title at Kingsthorpe on 20th October. We have selected the same team as last year giving them the opportunity to retain again!
