We had a very successful 2023 Mellin.
In the Peter Burles (over 65s) we lost in the first round to Forest but won the first two rounds of the plate against Lancing and Loretto. In the final we played Bedford and after drawing 1-1 we lost in extra holes. Well done Martin Riddiford, John Schofield, Chris Mitchell, Jeremy Weller and Richard Williams.
In the Mellin we lost 2.5 to 0.5 against Forest in the first round. They had 4 current Hewitt players and played very well. In the plate we beat Lancing (3-0) and Downside (3-0) very easily and then beat Loretto in the final (2.5-0.5). We last won the plate in 2012. Our team was Paul Tidey, Pete Russell, Matthew Hansford, Jerome Bartlett, Ian Darby, Andrew Staples and Tony Whitty.
