U league loss to Guildford & Godalming 1-6
After a series of withdrawals, a team of three made their M25 way to Guildford Rugby Club where GGCC are now based on the old bowls lawn, their famous slopey lawn (not used for matches) and a pair of new lawns beyond.
With no irrigation, these were extremely dry, very fast and difficult to judge. Single-point breaks were the order of the day and neither Mick nor Tom was able to get the pace of the lawn.

Tom Carpenter (4.5) lost to Ian Fugeman (7) -9
Mick Belcham (5) lost to Barry Gould (7) -16
