The summer foursomes knockout competition between last years’ club captain Adrian Deakins and his partner Chris Hill playing against Rick Metcalfe and partner Jon White culminated in a dramatic finish with Deakins holing a 15-foot putt on the last green to snatch the title from Metcalfe and White, after the latter had found themselves two up with five holes to play.
