Match Report

On a bright October morning the Martlets arrived at Rye G.C. located between Romney Marsh & Camber Sands, full of anticipation and hope for a win in the 2022 fixture.

The morning result was promising which saw the Martlets go into lunch leading four matches to three, which so easily could have been a bigger lead had several of the anticipated strong pairings performed to expectation.

The afternoon pairings did not fare well, wherein the Martlets only secured 2 points from the seven available. The Rye team clearly lunched more carefully than the Martlet team, resulting in Rye securing wins in five matches to run out winners 8 to 6. Looking back, it was a smart move by Patrick Hole, Rye’s match manager to bring in two fresh players for the afternoon pairings to strengthen Rye’s team.

Notable mentions from the Martlet pairings were the morning and afternoon wins by Peter Scaramanger, Mark Stevenson and Andy Rogers. Tim Woodcock playing in his first Rye match secured a morning win with Stuart Ritchie but was not able to repeat this in the afternoon.

Despite the result, everyone commented what wonderful hosts the Rye team were in welcoming the Martlets with a warm and generous hospitality that typifies this highly valued fixture.

The Martlets would like to thank the Rye team and club staff for making us most welcome and providing old and new Martlets with a fantastic day on this wonderful old links. We look forward to returning in 2023 with a strong team to reverse the 2022 result.
