Sidmouth played their second Dartmoor League match away at Elfordleigh and first out were in-form pairing Dan Colson and Graham Davies, who won their match by 3 and 2.
Paul Hitchcock and Steve Milton halved a tightly-fought match before Sidmouth veterans Terry Jones and Neil Faulkner continued their unbeaten record with a fine 2 and 1 win.
Club Captain Jonathan Lee paired with landscape gardener Harrison Jones looked unbeatable on paper with Jonathan playing off his highest handicap since 1978 and Harrison testing a new driver.
Alas, it was not to be with Jonathan hoping for a couple more shots by the next match and Harrison wishing he'd brought his chainsaw to deal with the hazards as they were pipped 2/1 by the opposition.
Last out were Moray Bosence and Dartmoor League debutant Jim Anderton, who made short work of their opponents with a great 6 and 5 win.
Overall match result was Elfordleigh 1.5 Sidmouth 3.5.
