Hackenbushes undefeated all the way to win the winter league final
In a closely fought Winter League final the Hackenbushes were the winners by a one-hole victory over the Halfbreeds.
Tam Keenan and Robert Binnie secured a one-up win in the first tie over Bren Ford and Jamie Crisp.
With Duncan Ireland and Chris Reid holding out for a draw in the other tie over Jaci Moriarty and Johan Svard this was enough to give the Hackenbushes the silverware having come through the competition undefeated. It was to the Halfbreeds credit that they came so close to winning the trophy having come back strongly after losing their first two matches in the group stage.
There was also the best-of -the-rest competition today and BMFC took the honours with a combined Stableford score of 95 (helped in no small measure by Kenny Saunders who won the Individual Stableford Competition)
followed by R's Holes, Bros In Arms and Latecomers who all scored 93.

Alex Young wins J B Roche Trophy
Yes some hardy soles braved the icicles to play in the traditional New Years day Competition.
Alex Young made a fine start to the new year by winning the J B Roche Trophy. The C Section Champion also recently won the November Medal so the cold weather obviously has no effect on him. Alex must have good thermals. His wining score today gave him a one stroke win from Tam Reid who took second place on the b.i.h. from Stuart McCallum.
