Victory Cup

​It was our turn to host teams from the other local clubs this afternoon for our annual Victory Cup.  Teams from Ottery, Sidmouth, Exonia, Phear Park, Honiton and Madeira accepted our invitation.  However, Honiton pulled out due to their players  contracting Covid and only one player from Madeira turned up, without his teammates, much to his disappointment. It is a mystery as to where the others were.  A Budleigh ladies team were brought in to make up the numbers for the round robin. It was an enjoyable,  competitive afternoon. The showers were not enough to stop play. At close of proceedings we all waited anxiously to hear the winners being announced by our Captain, Tony, while we enjoyed a delicious cream tea and cakes from the Shaldon Bakery in Budleigh.  We had held the Victory cup for the last two years, but it was taken away this year by the Ottery team, pictured below, who had a significant victory. Well done.
Well done to the team of three Budleigh ladies, Jackey, Evelyn and Angela as they got the highest score of the Budleigh teams. Their exuberant enthusiasm was evident all through the afternoon!​
