John Cooper Trophy

Played on Tuesday 28th April by 28 of those who had read the notice board, David Barnes and Barry Bower are the first to get their names on this prestigious trophy with 41 points in the 4BBB format. The continual threat of rain held off, but a persistent mizzle made things uncomfortable. Mike Mapleton and Brian Taylor managed the runners' up place by a countback on 40 points.

Thursday 23rd April

The brighter skies over Carlisle failed to head west so 12 intrepid Sandpipers completed the round in weather ranging from 'not raining' to a light fret.
Joe Campbell did enough to claim first prize and a 2 stroke handicap reduction by beating David Allison on the back nine.
Next Tuesday's 'John Cooper Trophy' has been revised at his request to Stableford format.

Roy Williams

Roy has let us know that everything has gone well and although he won't be able to drive for a month he has asked for his name to be added for matches in June. I'm sure everyone sends Roy best wishes for a speedy and full recovery.

Match v Workington

A close result in our match against Workington, but unfortunately we take a one point deficit to our return match on Monday 18th May. Captain Mike Mapleton assisted by Harry Wright set us off with a win but the eventual score was 3.5 to 4.5.

Tuesday 14th April

Tony Davis and Joe Campbell both came in with 40 points to head the leaderboard of today's championship qualifier. Dave Wood scraped in for the last of the 16 places with 32 points whilst David Houdini Low's 39 points merits a mention.
The £56 raised from the 28 entries will go to the charity that last year's winner Geoff Scott nominates.
