With team prizes and an individual prize for the professionals, it promises to be a wonderful day.

The 36 holes Hamilton Russell Trophy took place on Saturday. The first round was played in fair conditions, allowing for some excellent scoring. However, the second round was a rather different story, as rain described as "biblical" swept across the course, making conditions increasingly challenging and testing the resilience of our competitors.

Despite the weather, the standard of golf remained high: Joe White & Clare Strong emerged the winners with two consistent rounds of 41 and 37 points that gave them a winning total of 78 points.

In second place were Fiona Pullan & Stephen Walker, who produced the best round of the day in the afternoon with an impressive 40 points, finishing on 75 overall.

Harvey Linehan & Rosemary Burns secured third place with a solid total of 74 points (39 and 35), while Michael McGann & Patricia O’Shea took fourth with 67 points. Julie Scala and Anthony Beard finished fifth with 66.

Well done to all who took part!
