Crow Nest Park’s Gwyn Greenberry and Elaine Mackie snatched second.

A very sporting wind held off any threat of rain and the afternoon play ended in glorious autumnal sunshine.

The organisation’s AGM took place after the golf and Crow Nest Park ladies’ three year organising stint came to an end.

Julie Langfield passed on her chairwoman’s badge to Sarah Wickens of Lightcliffe GC.
