ROSS-ON-WYE Golf Club played host last Wednesday week to the inaugural tournament between 32 golfers from Ledbury and its twin town Stromstad in Sweden.
A mixed team of 16 players from Southern Sweden, visiting primarily for the recently postponed Ryder Cup, had a competitive yet friendly match in difficult conditions.
Excellent play was recorded, notably from Elizabeth Ewreskar of the Swedish team and from Charles Houlbrooke of the home team.
This meant that the scores were level after the eight four ball matches 4-4, but with Ledbury winning its matches by a greater margin, the cup was eventually awarded to the final winning pair, Colin Bennion and Robin Smith.
A brilliant day was had with many friendships made and a promise of a return match again next year.
