Interclub Result - apologies for late press release!!!!
- Published 13/05/2012
Although the second inter-club match took place at home to Weybrook Park last month, which resulted in another win for our Donnington boys, the following report has only just been received today. Rumour has it that the reason for this is that the interclub captain has been kept busy tasting more pies!!
Here is the report of the Weybrook match.
Well done lads - keep it up!!

With only 3 players actually managing to beat the course,

year!
Congratulations to Malcolm Kingham for winning the men's section with a very
narrow victory on countback from the ever consistent Greg Humphries - for all of the men's results click here.
Also, a very big well done to Ann Macdonald who had a slightly bigger winning
margin when coming first in the ladies section - for a full list of the ladies results click here.
