Andy Neighbour Invites JP to Ganton Golf Club

Andy Neighbour invited me to his home course of Ganton, a Championship course that has hosted the Ryder Cup and the Curtis Cup in the past. Inland links course with lots of traps, gorse and furrows and burrows typical of a great links.

After a 4 hour drive, a pint of best Beaver (real ale served in the bar) and drank on the terrace it was off. One down after one and a lost ball JP was under pressure but 4 up after six saw jp maintain the lead to shake hands at 5 and 4.

Great day and a fabulous course if you ever get the chance play it, with lots of balls!

2008-09 - North Walsham Vikings will be coming out fighting next season with the aim of gaining an early return to the National Leagues!
NEW COACHING TEAM North Walsham RFC is delighted to announce that they have an exciting new coaching team! Club chairman, John Farrer, announced at last week’s AGM that he had just concluded negotiations that will see Norfolk’s strongest coaching team coming together to spearhead Walsham’s drive towards an early return to National League rugby. The club’s new lead coach is Nick Greenhall. He is joined by last season’s caretaker coach, Dave Smith, who takes on the role of backs coach, while Tim Malone also returns to Walsham as forwards coach. A further two coaching appointments are expected shortly.John Farrer, said: “There is a real feeling of optimism around the club now after the disappointments of last season. The appointment of Nick, Dave and Tim to these crucial roles will give us an incredibly powerful coaching team on which to build a winning rugby side for 2008/9. Nick and Tim have nearly 500 cup and league appearances for North Walsham between them and have just guided Wymondham through a fantastic season, leading them to 20 wins out of 20 in Eastern Counties 1. All three already work together coaching Eastern Counties so we know that this is a winning combination.”In addition, Jon Pulford is fitness coach and Ian East SAQ coach.
