Wells Seniors Wells Seniors had three matches in just over a week in early June, starting with an emphatic home victory over Isle of Wedmore, with wins of 5&4 from Allan Bancroft and John Moxon, and Peter Leverick and Ged Ramsell, 4&3 from Glyn Hallett and Allan Thompson, 4&2 from Piers Dalby and George White, and 1up from Bill O'Callaghan and Len Sweales, and Mike Magrath and Jock McKinven. Only a half from Dave Hayward and John Chillington saved Wedmore from a whitewash.
A few days later we had another home win against Filton, this time by the margin of 4 games to 2. The successful Wells pairs were Pete Boehm and Ron Hancock (6&5), Steve Bocquet and Allan Thompson (5&4), Dave Gibbon and Ged Ramsell (4&3), and Alan Elkins and John Moxon (1up). Our successful run of four consecutive wins was brought to an end a couple of days later by a narrow defeat away at Long Sutton by two and a half to three and a half. Two Wells pairs had good wins of 4&3 - Dave Hayward and Allan Thompson, and Mike Gee and Chris Strickland - while Terry Pearce and Ron Hancock achieved a friendly half playing against ex-Wells Captain Mike Stringer. We offered to take him back on a free transfer, but they wouldn't let him go.
