TADMARTON Heath booked their spot in the Core Golf UK Oxfordshire Foursomes League KO Cup

semi-finals with a 2-1 win at home to The Oxfordshire.

Andy Laird and Lewis Bullard delivered the decisive point in the final match, winning 5 & 4 against Paul O’Mohoney and Andy Murphy.

Tadmarton, who have not won the competition since 2011, will host the winners of the quarter-final between Feldon Valley and Kirtlington.

They had got away to a good start thanks to James Ellis and Jim McMurdo, who won the 18th to finish two up against Mick Lord and Gareth Cummin.

It completed a good few days for McMurdo, who joined as Tadmarton’s head greenkeeper from Prestwick in December.

The six-handicapper carded a nett 67 to win the club’s monthly medal by a shot from Steve Westley.
