The fourth match between teams from the TT Roll-up and the EGGS was held on Tuesday 15th October 2019 on the Green course.
The TT Roll-up team, comprising 7 pairs of TT regulars, successfully defended the EGG Cup (pictured) by 4 1/2 pts to 2 1/2.
The EGGS captain had to make some late changes in his team, through injury and other reasons, and even had to call on one of the TT Roll-up reserves to fill a last minute vacancy. In the true spirit of camaraderie and good will that typifies these encounters, the TT Roll-up reserve, playing off a newly reduced TT Roll-up handicap, contributed significantly to one of the EGGS’ wins.
Two other matches went to the 18th hole, one ending in a +1 win for the TT Roll-up team and the other being halved.

The weather was kind - an oasis of dry weather amid a period of almost continuous rain - and the course conditions were near perfect, remarkably so given the amount of water the courses have had to absorb over recent weeks.
The match, which was again played in an excellent convivial spirit, was followed by drinks and a light meal in the clubhouse.
Both sides are looking forward to the next match to be held some time in the new year.
