SdM gained a creditable halved match away at Castro Marim recently.
On a very hilly and narrow course, with a strong wind, conditions were difficult for the visiting team, many playing the course for the first time.
A half was therefore a very positive result for us.

| First | Gwynne Jones | Peter Chapman | 46 Points c/b |
| Second | Tony Roxburgh | Roger Yates | 46 Points |
| Third | Arthur Greenwood | Judi Murphy | 45 Points c/b |

A stunning day and a brilliant turnout of nearly one hundred players made this a wonderful day for our Captain Ray Groves. All the winners and other prizes were presented on Sunday at the Tivoli Hotel in Carvoeiro.
Many of Ray's family were present to make this so memorable.

Our first Silves Charity Day, it clearly was not about winners but about trying to help a young lady in need of urgent medical treatment. However it was a fantastic day when the two Silves based clubs came together in aid of Monica, the daughter of Fatima our bar manager. Apart from the funds raised a great fun day was had by all with good food supplied by Osvaldo and his team. Lively music from J.J Johns and not least an entertaining Auction performed by Simon Arnes who managed to squeeze every last cent out of the bidders. Rob Cheney also helped boost the fund with his beat the Pro event on the 16th Hole as did Patrick Ferreira on the 4th hole, both did a great job.
On another fine day SdM recorded their second home win in two matches against a strong Laranjal team.
Running out 4-1 winners to go along with our 5-0 result in our first home match shows the advantage of playing at home.
Good wins for Gary & Gill Edwards and Steve Edwards & Judi Murphy, whilst Bill Goodwin birdied 18 to give him and partner Arthur Greenwood a fine victory.
Congratulations to Maz McGill and Andy Richardson, this year's winners of the Spring Cup
All the scores can be seen here.
Thanks to our Competition Secretary Lynn Cook for organising this 2 day event.

Please find below the results of a great day of golf sponsored by Taste Restaurant as well as our photo gallery.
It was a warm day, but some cool sangria at the halfway house served with some lovely tapas kept us going.
Many of you were at Taste Restaurant last night for the prize giving dinner, but if you weren't, I can tell you missed a great evening.
We were welcomed by Ciprian and Nicola with a glass of bubbly,had a very nice couvert followed by a fantastic steak (and great fish for the non-carnivores) cooked by our own Jimmy Cruz with plenty of good wine to go with it.
