West Surrey beat Burhill to win the John Ling Salver Final 2022

West Surrey and Burhill reached the final of the 2022 John Ling Salver which was played at the Roehampton Club on Monday 17th October.

The John Ling Salver is a 4BBB match play competition played off handicap with ten players each side. Representing their clubs were:

Burhill - Peter Gibson & Ian Caldwell / Phil Gregory & Fred Cahill / Gordon O'Malley & Neil Hazlehurst / Tim Harris & Martin Lawrence (C) / Steven Kim & Michael Ellis

West Surrey - Stuart Lawson (C) & Rodney Fenner / Richard Keary & Mike Bridson / Peter Arksey & Syd Phillips / Simon Chapman & Adrian Girdlestone / Tony Marshall & Mike Auty

We were lucky with the weather with the sun staying with us most the day. The match couldn't have been any closer with the win going to West Surrey, on the very last putt on the 18th green, exactly want you want for a final. Both teams played the match in great spirit and Burhill were gracious in their defeat.

My thanks to Roehampton Golf Club for their hospitality and to their Course Marshall Dhiren for making us feel so welcome and all his help in making sure the players got off in a timely manner.

Last but not least to our referee Alastair Wells for his support on the day.
