Andrew Wilson retains Club GC Championship

Post date: Oct 23, 2017 8:32:29 PM

In the final club competition of the year, Andrew Wilson defeated Robert Cook 7-4,7-5 to retain the Cobbold Cup, the club's top accolade.

It was fitting that the final was contested by the club's two most consistent players of the season who both won all their qualifying block games.

Robert went on to defeat the club's top AC star Neil Coote in the first semi-final and Andrew beat club chairman Ian Cobbold in a topsy turvy second semi-final. Ian won 10 of the first 11 hoops to lead 7-1, 3-0 but Andrew somehow turned things round winning no less than 14 of the 17 remaining hoops to triumph 1-7, 7-5, 7-1 ! Does anybody remember either of these two ever losing a game 7-1, let alone both of them on the same day ?

As the picture shows, Ian was on hand at the final to present Andrew with the trophy.
