Ralph Garnish, 2009 Team Captain, has a very strong nucleus of players around which to build a team for next year. He will also chair the Travis Cup Committee that will be responsible for organizing and conducting the 2009 Travis Cup at Stafford. Prospects are great for a hugely successful 2009 Travis Cup.
