A good turnout for the Ces Dowson Trophy on Monday 19th June with 16 teams competing for the trophy. A collection taken after the event raised some money to buy a new car battery for Phil Glendinning whose car would not start and left David Gibbs, Paul Steward and Jim Jobson as a very slow three ball!

The pace of play was not good with gaps developing between groups , the first three groups were all in in under 4 hours, but there was a considerable wait until all groups were in and scores put on machine. 

The course had had a lot of rain over Sunday but was in great condition and good scores were expected. However there were not as good as last year. In third place with 128 points were Alan Heatley, Malcolm Lunn, Terry Devlin and Ron McNally, in second place with Nick Kirby, who had £5 prised out of him before the start as he had forgotten? to pay his Stags fee, Julian Westwood, Bandit Bill and Trevor Sidaway. However the winners by just one shot were Steve Arthurton, Roger Pearson, Rick Fennell and Brodie Aziz. Congratulations to the winners

I am off to listen to Boris getting his just desserts, lying ........
