Halford Hewitt Trial
On Saturday 5 March, one month ahead of the Halford Hewitt, the OL scratch golfers descended upon Royal St George’s to contend for a coveted position in the competing team. Breakfast was enjoyed together, and battle commenced at 9am. 18 holes of foursomes ensued, a 3-course lunch served with the club's finest claret was enjoyed, and a further 18 dictated the lucky 10. A promising and rather new looking side will be representing the College in Sandwich and Deal for 2022: James Barrington Gibbs’ 1973-1978, Eric Brünjes Teme 1998-2003, Harry Brünjes Head’s 1996-2001, Ralph Brünjes (Capt) Gibbs’ 2001-2006, Jack Cheesman Head’s 2014-2019, Rufus Dennis Sankey’s 1999-2004, Oliver Kenning Second’s 2000-2005, Nigel Munn Field’s 1979-1984, Christopher Pettie Head’s 1992-1997 and Simon Wright Second’s 2001-2006.
