Match Report from Caversham Health

2026 Four Counties Trophy

Dorset Captains travelled to Caversham Heath near Reading to take part in the 4 Counties Trophy playing against Berkshire, Somerset and Wiltshire. The course is quite a new layout and winding through Berkshire Heathland so that it is only possible to glimpse other holes from any one fairway. It was a very interesting layout presented in excellent condition, with a large number of Red Kites providing spectacular aerial displays. We played in the drt but a stiff breeze made for testing conditions. All our pairs played well with points totals ranging between 32 and 38 points which meant we improved on our position from 2025. In the end the results were

Berkshire183 points
Dorset184 points
Wiltshire192 points
Somerset198 points
Somerset also had the best overall pair with 43 points.
