Board Competition Reports #Saturday 29th June 2019

Matt Goodall overcomes his 31 elite colleagues to win the inaugural James and Roland West Shield by two shots from perennial Board Comp winner Danny Miller with new boy Gary Gilbert in third on a day when high scoring on individual holes proved costly for many of our best players with Caffrey and Butterworth suffering crucial reverses whilst Alty ‘Father of the House’ Bernie Wood rolled back the years on his front 9 but could not maintain it .

Dave Drury dominates the 30 strong field with a stunning front 9 giving him a huge lead that he nearly surrendered but hung on to win his first Board Competition whilst runner up Ian Cheetham comes back from 7 behind after 6 holes to lose by just a shot with third placed Matt Astbury similarly rueing sluggish starts which left them too much to do as early contender George Sainthouse drops 3 shots at Amen Corner to finish fifth .
