Team Warwickshire 2nd's v Nottinghamshire 2nd's @ Cotgrave Place GC on Sunday 2nd August 2009. After opening the season with two home wins the 2nd's arrived in sunny Nottinghamshire for their first away match of the campaign looking to consolidate their position as joint league leaders. Player availability for this match was very high and after much deliberation captain Pete Clarke bravely made five changes to the side that had convincingly beat Staffs last month. The team on paper looked very strong, could this perceived strength be translated on the golf course ?

Warwickshire 2nd's v Shropshire & Staffordshire - Kenilworth Golf ClubSunday 5th July 2009 - The first pairing on the golf course were Hearsall's Sam Foster & James Bromley. Sam was a little rusty after just returning from his Greek holiday but he and James still had a little too much for their opponents and closed the match out with a 1 up win to get the 2nd's off to flying start.

Team Warwickshire 2nd's v Staffordshire at Oxley Park GC on Sunday 3rd August. Following last month's washout the 2nd's continued their league season against Staffordshire with a disappointing 11 v 7 defeat.

An excellent foursomes effort saw Warks take a creditable lunchtime lead of 3.5 v 2.5, this could have been better with the Hufton/Harben partnership being pegged back from a front nine 3 hole lead for their half and Jewsbury/Senior going down narrowly by 1 hole. Gary Greenway of Atherstone making his 2nd team debut formed a solid partnership with John Taylor for the biggest morning win of 5 & 3.

After a difficult year in 2005 out of the haze came one Graham Hargreaves, a born organizer of men and Warwichshire to the core. It soon became very clear that no stone was going to be left unturned in this the County?s Centenary Year. Pre-season meetings took place at County Match Secretary Mark Smith?s home over the Winter and a lot of background work was put in culminating in a squad of around 36 being drawn up which consisted of the old guard, new kids on the block and those from the development squad.
