The venue for this year's Inter Cities Cup was Duddingston Golf Club in Edinburgh, with the event being held on Sunday 13th October. This year's final was played between Longniddry winners of the Edinburgh Golf League, and Haggs Castle winners of the Boundary Bell.
The golf course was in great condition and well presented and the weather was fantastic.
The match got off to a fast start in favour of Longniddry with both James Morgan and Craig Davidson securing points. David Gravill for Haggs won 1up to secure a point for his team, then Killian Martens added another with a long range birdie on the 18th to make the match all square after 4 games. James Gribben for Longniddry then had a good 3&2 victory in his game, followed by John Mathers for Haggs who won 2&1 to again square the match with 6 games played.
Haggs Team Manager Craig Morrison put Haggs back in the driving seat with a 2&1 win in game 7, but Louis Cheetham for Longniddry made it 4-4 with his win in game 8. With the match now resting on the reserve game, it was Don Reid who secured the cup for Longniddry winning the final game.
A fantastic match, and congratulations to Longniddry who win their first Inter Cities title. Commiserations to Haggs Castle on a great match, and they will surely be back.
