THE Seniors section of Fosseway Golf Club narrowly missed out in the first round of the Somerset Rosebowl, losing 3-2 at home to Cricket St Thomas.

It could not have been closer with Dave Josham and John Fuller losing on the 19th play-off hole with the scores standing at 2-2. Andy Flagg and Gary Wilcox and Roger Parfitt and Allen Cheney were successful for the home side.

It didn’t take long for Josham and Fuller to get over the disappointment. In the Seniors County Championship at Mendip Springs Josham won by a clear four shots with a nett 66. Not far behind came Fuller who finished eighth with a nett 74 and which could have been even better but for a disastrous seven on the final par three hole.

There was a very fitting winner of the Nick Foxwell Memorial Trophy. Nick’s great friend Mike Weeks won the individual Stableford with 39 points. In second place came Chris Champion (37).
