Another fine win for Princes Risborough in the Chiltern Breakfast league, today Saturday 21st July with a 4:2 victory at home to Oakland Park. Oakland Park are a tough team to beat and the PRGC boys did very well to extract a solid win and make it 5 wins out of 5 in the home CBL matches this year. Fortress Risborough lived up its name and the home team were able to master the very tricky conditions occasioned by the long spell of dry and hot weather. Solid wins by Captain Gavin Adams and club champion Neil Martin (4&2), Barry Woledge and Steve Wagerfield (4&3) and John Forrest and Alan Jackson (2 up) were all eclipsed by the 6&4 win secured by Steve Smith and Dave MacKenzie. This was an outstanding result and with Steve making his debut in the league team a brilliant win; win for him and the team. Dave Mackenzie has form of course as he secured a 6&4 win earlier in the season. There is no doubting who won the Risborough stake money on this occasion.
Oakland Park were very complimentary about the condition of the course and the quality of the food and beverages which is considered amongst the best in the league. Many thanks to Nick, Julie, Ed and Luke in the clubhouse and John, Jake and Bob on the course.
We are boxing and coxing with Richings Park at the top of the table for a place in the play offs and this will go down to the wire. The next match is the return at Oakland Park on Saturday 4th August and our final match is away at Weston Turville on Saturday 15th September. Both of these will be tough matches but having played so well all season the team will be in top form to secure a result at both locations and make a big push for place in the play off
