This year saw the emergence of two new captains;

George Tracey for the Anglos and Dermot Geoghegan for the Celts.

Both captains officially qualified for their role whcih is more that can be said of their teams!
This was the first year we had representatives turning up in the colours of St George only to find they were playing as a Celts!!

A great day was had by all with teh CELTS being triumphant which left Dermot delirous at speech time. Noted!!

On Saturday 23rd September, four of our Olton Ladies playing at Shirley, beat Ladbrook in the final of the Warwickshire 4somes Knock Out.

Not satisfied with that success, on Monday 25th they picked up another challenge. The final of the Warwickshire League was played at Handsworth when a team of seven Olton Ladies faced last year's winners Kenilworth.

Olton had a great win beating Kenilworth 4-3, tense, exciting with the winning putt on the 18th green of the last game.

They request that bright clothes be worn.

No flowers please.  If desired, donations to The British Lung Foundation - via William H Painter Funeral Directors, 192 Robin Hood Lane, Hall Green, Birmingham B28 0LG.
