Matt Hodder-Williams

Having learnt early on that the Redyr Cup plays to its own rules with a shaky (and in some eyes, disasterous) first campaign against Grant in 2005, Hods carefully planned his comeback with a return to the captaincy in 2011 with a successful victory at Stratford. 

His golf has sometimes played second fiddle to his stronger suit, Smirnoff Ice racing, although having retired in advance of the Olympic year (apparently it was low down in Seb Coe's list of things to introduce to Danny Boyle for the opening ceremony) he is looking forward to concentrating on the golfing side of things and to actually winning a point again at some stage!

 As stand in captain on the first day in 2012 Hods handed over a 3-0 lead to Toby and, thinking his work was done, rested. As they say, the rest is misery, as Pinks threw away the lead in just 45 minutes on the second morning. Hods also had to admit that he had lost (I think lost is such a harsh word, how about never had, never hunted...?) the Redyr Cup and was tasked at providing a new one. We understand he is just waiting for the Tri Nations to finish before borrowing theirs........
