The Society of Derbyshire Golf Captains this year hosted the match at Ashbourne Golf Club on a bright sunny day. Despite many competitors having to travel a long distance and local road closures both counties managed to field full teams.

The undulating Ashbourne course provided a fine test of golf, and although the new layout is quite new, the course was very well presented and enjoyed by all. Spen Stanway, the Derbyshire President, acted as Starter in his own inimitable manner.

Tony East, 2010 Ashbourne Captain, said it was a pleasure to host the day with Peter Brabbing the Derbyshire Captain paying suitable gratitude to the host club for their hospitality. Cheques were presented to Tony for his Charity, the catering staff and green keeping staff. He then paid tribute to the respective county Secretaries, Colin Annison and John Bevan, for putting the day together concluded by toasting the Worcestershire Captains Society.

John Fletcher, Worcestershire Captain, announced that this year Derbyshire had just won 5 – 3. The tally over the last 5 years that the fixture has been played was 3.5 to 1.5 in favour of Derbyshire.

In 2011 Worcestershire host the match and will be held at Fulford Heath Golf Club on 8th September when old friendships will be renewed.
