A hearty round of applause to Richard Crewcock & Steve Bryah, who claimed top honours with a well‑crafted 37 points, sealing victory courtesy of a superb back nine of 20. It was the sort of finish that suggests they either found their rhythm… or finally agreed on who was supposed to hit the ball next.
Their strong inward half proved decisive in a tight contest, nudging them ahead of the chasing pack and earning them £18 each — a tidy return for a morning’s work.
Just missing out on top spot were Marcus Beale & Peter Milburn, also returning 37 points but edged out on countback with a back nine of 17. A fine performance nonetheless, and one that will no doubt be retold in the clubhouse with the phrase “if only” appearing at least twice.
Third place went to Richard Bursztyn & Steve D’Arcy, who posted a solid 36 points. Reliable, competitive, and just one good bounce away from climbing higher — the sort of round that keeps them firmly in the mix every week.
Rounding out the prizes were John Swain & John Hopwood, returning 35 points and winning the countback courtesy of a sharp back six of 12. A neat finish, and enough to secure £12 each and bragging rights for at least the next 48 hours.
