After showing great promise over several weeks Pat Hallion has finally broken through for a stunning victory. Pat has spreadeagled a good field of 18 players scoring 41 stableford points to finish 4 points clear of runner up David “Jack” Webster. Dick Cleland, Chris “Critta” Waters, & colourful local identity Philip “Tommo” Thomson were one back on 36. At the other end of the field Trevor Maxted took the Mars Bar with 24 points.

Twelve players competed in ideal conditions today with some good scores returned. Dick Cleland returned the best score with an evenly played 41 stableford points. Runner up was Michael “Tickers” Tickner with 39. Tickers has recently turned to form after a period in the wilderness and we can expect some good results from him in the coming weeks. Pat Hallion continued his consistent form finishing 3rd with 37 points.

The most disappointing result today was poor showing by colourful local sporting identity, Philip “Tommo” Thomson, who scored just 25 points, narrowly avoiding the Mars Bar.

Results:

• 41 – Richard Cleland
• 39 – Michael Tickner
• 37 – Pat Hallion
• 36 – David Robinson, Peter Weiss
• 35 – Richard Secomb
• 34 – Trevor Maxted
• 33 – Andrew Spackman
• 32 – Richard Matz
• 31 – David Webster
• 25 – Philip Thomson
• 23 – Edward Van Keulen (Mars Bar)

All players in Saturday’s stableford failed to play to their handicaps. The best result was Russell “Gus The Good” Guy Wenzel who returned a score of one over his handicap with a score of 37 points. A count back was required to sort out the runner up with Dick Secomb prevailing over Pat Hallion, both returning 36 points. The Mars Bar went to Richard “Pickles” Matz with 23 points while Michael “Tickers” Tickner still stuggles to find form.

Results:

• 37 – Russell Wenzel
