On the 19th hole, 14 year old Adam Chapman of Windermere hit a monstrous drive , which courted disaster at the stream crossing the fairway, stopping 2 yards short. His partner Andrew Millray chipped it to a yard and Adam slotted the putt for birdie. Workington's Cowen & Pearson could only record a par. In the final match, both teams recorded a par, resulting in a win for the Windermere A team.
In the finals on 1st August at Windermere Golf Club, Kendal A will play Windermere B, with Silloth A confronting Windermere A in the other semi-final. Both Kendal and Silloth will be out to prevent an all Windermere Final at Windermere. A fascinating prospect!
