The Farrington Park Seniors Club Championship was almost an exciting affair as the Euro 2020 final and an equally close encounter was being played out on the golf course between good mates and pairs partners, Phil Thompson and Tony Waldron.

Thompson scoring a gross 77 to Waldron’s 80 and both scoring a nett 67. The gross trophy goes to Thompson and the nett to Waldron. Congratulations to both players for their fine performances.

Steve Mitchell and Pierce O’Shea both dropped out of top spot in the nett after damaging eights on the 3rd and 11th holes respectively to finish with nett 68s.

Heartbreak for England as they lost the Euro 2020 final to Italy on penalties. After England scored in the first two minutes Italy dominated the second half of normal time and extra time was inevitable. A penalty shoot out loomed and England do not have a good record in shootouts. Sadly Rashford and Saka missed their penalties and Italy won 3-2 on penalties.

More than 100 global experts have warned Boris Johnson that lifting the remaining Covid-19 restrictions in England later this month is ‘dangerous and premature’. Time will tell if the boffins know better than Boris.

An appeals court in the US has suspended former mayor of New York, Rudy Giuliani from practicing law in Washington DC while trying to overturn the 2020 US elections. I wonder if Donald if knew.
