2000 – Dewstow, Caerwent, Wales (Wales 10 Rest of World 6) | ||||||

The Welsh team was captained by 5 handicapper Richard Bradshaw whilst his opposing captain was Paul Newton who organised the day. Due to the lack of numbers for the English side, other nationalities were drafted-in and became the Rest of the World. The matches played consisted of 16 singles matches played over the Park and Valley courses. The home team, Wales, came out on top with the day rounded-off with a meal and presentation in the clubhouse. |
