Steve Marshall and Alan |

Alan's opponent in the final was Steve Marshall, South Yorkshire. Steve built up a 20-12 lead on marks Alan not played earlier in the competition. On regaining the jack, Alan recovered to lie 20-20. He then played both his woods to within 2 ft of the jack. His opponent's first wood was "nowhere" but Steve then played a front toucher to clinch the game 21-20. Alan has now entered this competition 5 times - been runner-up twice and reached the semi-final twice, a remarkably consistent record. |

everyone played 4 short games with a different

good idea not to name their opponents! |

Harry Walklet wins the President's Cup for the third year running |
|
Thirty-five members entered this year's President's Cup. The knockout competition took place throughout the season starting with the preliminary round in May and ending with the final between Paul Curley and Harry Walklet on the 1st September. In
early rounds Paul beat Derek Adams, Eric Machin and Josie
Longmore and in the semi-final accounted for John Ford. During the final, a handful of spectators saw Paul's early lead whittled away until Harry took the lead. During the rest of the game Harry maintained his advantage and ran out winner by 21 to 16. Congratulations to both Paul and Harry for their success in reaching the final and particularly to Harry for winning the President's Cup for the third year running. He becomes the first player to win this title in three consecutive years. My thanks to all the participants who made sure they played their games by the agreed deadline and thus made it possible for the competition to progress smoothly throughout the summer months. |

Many thanks to Bernard Oates for this report. Members are very grateful to Bernard for his tremendous work in the role of Competitions Secretary. |
