Prizes for Ryburn and Crow Nest duos

They took the third and fourth prizes behind impressive winners Gareth McMahon and Josh McAspurn from Meltham and runners-up Mike Dempsey and Peter Newey from Huddersfield in the Kelcol Bedding Company sponsored competition.

Low-handicap pair McMahon and McAspurn played superbly to finish clear with 47 Stableford points.

McAspurn is off one and a member of the Union’s select side. He finished runner-up to Matthew Colcombe in the Union stroke play event earlier in the summer.

Fixby’s Dempsey and Newey, regulars on the winter Alliance scene, were runners-up on 45.

Five combinations came next on 44 points and count back decided that Ryburn’s David Crowther and Michael Lister were third from Crow Nest’s Andrew Sheldon and Neil Connor.

Fifty four pairs took part and scoring was good in excellent conditions.
