A most enjoyable afternoon.  Our team was:

Humphrey FitzRoy Newdegate
William Barrow
Henry Chamberlayne
Julian Martin Smith
James Cleverly
William Playne

Playing on their very fine 9-hole course, scoring on a Stapleford basis, Maidwell won by 198 points to 170. The standard of play was very high indeed.  Often all four tee shots at each hole would have been the envy of many club golfers. Nearly all the boys in both teams scored more than 30 Stapleford points, Julian having the highest score, 40, 7 pars and 2 eagles. Humphrey won the competition for the longest drive, 260 yards straight down the middle of the fairway.

On a gloriously sunny Sunday morning we hosted a golf match against Witham Hall. It was closely contested with a great atmosphere encouraged by a good crowd of following spectators. Scoring was by Stapleford points and Maidwell drew ahead at the end to win by 138-120. Humphrey Fitzroy Newdegate won the 'closest to the pin' competition. Overall we were perhaps slightly luckier with our bounces off the trees!
