The first 'major' winner of the year was Paul Wright, who won the Birchall Bowl on Sunday with an excellent early season score of 40 points.

In blustery conditions, and the winter rustiness of competitors not quite disappeared, Paul beat 119 other players to win this prestigious stableford event.

Other notable scores were Kevin Perkin with 38 points, with Billy Gilbert and Stewart Sherratt both earning 37 points. These were the only members to break par, with C.S.S. a very high 73.

New member SJ Dreya achieved two's on both the 4th & 9th holes.

Well done to all who participated. Details can be found on 'how-did-i-do'
