FOR the first time both the seniors section of Fosseway Golf Club and members of the main club took part in a special Stableford event in aid of the Poppy appeal.

Altogether 67 players took part and raised the magnificent sum of £1050. The seniors held their competition on the Thursday and the main club on the Saturday and thankfully the weather was kind on both occasions and the course was in fine condition thanks to the work of the ground staff.

There was a close finish on both days. John Cooper took the honours in the seniors’ event with 41 points with Noel Chatfield just one point behind in second place. Paul Trigg was third with 38 points. There was an even closer conclusion on Saturday with countback required to establish the winner. Lee Britten and Darren Gibbs both came in with 40 points with Britten just claiming first place. Aaron Woodruff was third with 38 points.
