COSTA BELLENA MEN'S QUADRANGULAR
RAIN IN SPAIN BUT ENGLAND WIN TITLE
England overcame opposition from Finland, Germany and Spain to win the Costa Ballena Quadrangular men's amateur international match in Spain for the second year in succession. The Costa Ballena competition is played on a round robin basis, each match comprising three morning foursomes and six afternoon singles. The last day of the competition was affected by heavy rain that became so bad that the afternoon's single matches had to be cancelled. Combined scores from day one saw England defeat Finland 5-4. On day two, in spite of winning all their morning foursomes, England suffered a 5-4 loss against Spain.
On the final day, with all to play for, the England team rallied convincingly to again win all their foursomes in the last match against Germany.
The final positions for the tournament were:
England 4 pt, Germany 3, Spain 3, Finland 2 points.
The England team was:
Gary Boyd (Northants Co), Oliver Fisher (West Essex), David Horsey (Styal), John Parry (Harrogate), James Ruth (Tavistock), Paul Waring (Bromborough).
