The seniors continued to have a busy season right through Septem­ber writes Rosemary Sharps.

Earlier in the month, senior captain Stuart had the pleasure of presenting the seniors’ Olympic Trophy to his vice-captain Alan Evans, who won the competition with an impressive medalford score of 16.

He was followed into second place by Steve Ryder scoring 19 points, with Andrew Kings­north finishing third on countback with 20 points.

The Albert Dodman Trophy, a stableford better ball competition held later, was played in glorious sunshine with little rain, and this highly contested trophy saw 28 pairs participate.

Topping the scoreboard with 42 points was Leon Dimmick and his partner Mike Wil­liams; three pairs followed with 41 points.

Based on countback Keith Williams and Keith Hollingsworth came in second, with Alf Kings and John Steel third.

Julie Leach came top of division one in the Saturday stableford competition last weekend with 34 points.

In second place was captain Caroline Hallett with 31 points, on countback from Sheila Mathieson who also scored 31 points.

Division two was won convincingly by Vanda Irish, who scored an impressive 41 points, six points ahead of both Jenny Balkwill and Sandy Lyon who scored 35 points, Jenny edging out Sandy for second place on countback.

Anne Fowler lead the way in division three scoring 38 points with Carole Murphy second scoring 36 points and Andrea Livermore came third when she scored 34 points.

Congratulations go to Jo Shorrocks and her playing partner Aman­da Mayne (a Somerset county player) on winning the English Lad­ies’ Seniors Brenda King Foursome title, which was held at Cox­moor in Notting­ham­shire.

The competition was held over two rounds and with only three holes left in the second round, Jo and Amanda were three shots be­hind.

However, courtesy of Jo’s nerve-jangling three-foot downhill putt on the 18th the pair clinched the title by one shot.

Another title to be added to the honours’ board for Jo.

Lady captain Caro­line Hallett and captain Mick Gates have asked all bridge players, (members and non-members of the club), to sign up for their charity bridge day, which will be held in Moreleigh Village Hall on Monday, November starting at 9.45am.

All players will be given coffee followed by bridge, a two-course lunch with wine and more bridge then the prize presentation will follow.

Caroline and Mick’s charity is the Kings­bridge Triangle Centre, for which they hope to the raise a good deal of money for this local cause.

Tickets can be purchased from Caro­line Hallett at Bigbury Golf Club.
