Match report; Home against Gott's Park
A number of late withdrawals meant Derek had to shuffle his squad and draft unprepared players into the team at short notice.
Despite a valiant attempt, the team went down to a 2-6 home defeat against a Gott's Park team who usually fail to break into the top 2 places in the Tomlinson table.
An inconsolable Derek paid tribute to his men and vowed to make amends in the next match; slugging on bourbon our Vice Captain has already started working out tactics to ensure an 8 point haul.
NEXT MATCH - HOME AGAINST GOTT'S PARK ON SATURDAY 14th APRIL

DEREK'S VICE SQUAD HAS BEEN WORKING ON A VARIETY OF TECHNIQUES DURING THE BAD WEATHER AND THERE WAS AN IMMEDIATE PAYOFF WHEN HIS MEN TROUNCED A TIRED LOOKING TEMPLE NEWSAM TEAM IN SATURDAY'S TOMLINSON SHOWDOWN.
TONY BANKS WAS IN CONFIDENT MOOD BEFORE THE FIRST BALL WAS STRUCK, BUT HIS OPTIMISM WAS MIS-PLACED AND ROUNDHAY'S RAMPANT LIONS SHOWED NO MERCY, AS THEY SENT THE OPPOSITION ON A MISERABLE JOURNEY BACK AROUND THE RING ROAD.
IT'S VERY EARLY IN THE TOMLINSON SEASON, BUT ROUNDHAY HAS ALREADY BEEN INSTALLED AS THE BOOKIES FANCY FOR THE 2012 TITLE.
WHEN WE CAUGHT UP WITH TEMPLE NEWSAM HAS-BEEN TONY BANKS, (HE'S AN AVID READER OF THE ROUNDHAY WEB SITE - HELLO TONY) OUTSIDE NETTO ON SELBY ROAD, HE TOOK TIME OUT FROM HIS WEEKLY SHOP TO TELL US HOW IMPRESSED HE WAS WITH THE GOLF PLAYED BY ROUNDHAY IN THE BIG MATCH.
IN PARTICULAR, TONY WANTED TO CONGRATULATE ROUNDHAY'S PETER SALTER & DOM ARBER ON THEIR MAGNIFICENT 6 & 5 VICTORY WHICH SET THE SCENE FOR A SUPER 6-2 HOME WIN.
STROKING A BANANA, TONY (TEMPLE NEWSAM'S FAVOURITE GREENGROCER) SAID HE WOULD NOW CONCENTRATE ON HIS CAULIFLOWERS AND PASSION FRUIT AND CONSIGN 2012'S GOLFING HOPES TO AN EARLY BATH.
TEMPLE NEWSAM WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO AVENGE TODAY'S HUMILIATION IN THE RETURN LEG AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO THEIR HOSPITALITY AND GOOD HUMOUR AS EVER.
WELL PLAYED BOTH TEAMS.
NEXT MATCH; ROUNDHAY V TEMPLE NEWSAM AT ROUNDHAY GC. - SATURDAY 18th FEBRUARY.
1. D ARBOR & P SALTER
2. J GALLEY & P REEVES
3. D PIERCE & P SAVAGE

DEREK IS PUTTING OUT A STRONG TEAM & SAYS HE EXPECTS BIG THINGS FROM HIS CHARGES. "IF YOU WIN, YOU'RE IN" SAYS DEREK.
HIS CHARGES WILL BE GOING ALL OUT TO RETAIN THEIR PLACES FOR THE NEXT FIXTURE AGAINST GOTT'S PARK.
TOMLINSON TROPHY - 2012. BRING IT BACK!
1ST RESULT JUST IN - ROUNDHAY BEAT MIDDLETON IN SOUTH LEEDS BY 2 POINTS TO 6. WELL DONE LADS!
Saturday 21st January - The first match of the season.
Roundhay Golf Club and Tomlinson Trophy Organiser Derek Pearson has been stroking his chin and decided upon the following pairs to go into combat with Middleton Park GC.
Last year we shared the spoils in South Leeds and Derek thinks we can do even better this year; "I think we can do even better this year" he told us after we'd caught up with him outside Bet Fred on Street Lane. "I've been tinkering with a few options and I think I've found the right blend of experience and even greater experience". No youth policy Derek?
Please remember to bring your season tickets as they'll be inspected before you play.
1st group out at midday.
1. PAUL SAVAGE & DAVE PEARCE
2. ANDREW WINFIELD & PAUL WHITEHOUSE
3. NOEL COSGROVE & PETER SALTER
4. PETER REEVES & JOHN MARSHALL
