Simon Barber won the SImister Cup Final in the spring sunshine with 37 points, with Keith Doyle following closely behind in 2nd place with 36 points.

Dave Snell won the subsidiary competition with 38 points.

Following last week's cancelled Opening Sides match, this was the first competition of the new season. 17 teams of 4 enjoyed a keenly contested 18 holes of medal play and the winning team with a very impressive nett score of 57.2 were Steve Lomas, Brian Jones, Mike Magee and Roy Parker. In 2nd place with 58.2 were Simon Barber,  Andy Wells, Gavin Elly and Matt Spiller, followed by Mike Easton, Dave Snell, Tim Hoare and Pete Burns in 3rd with 60.2.

It couldn't have been much closer in the end.  Only 6 points separated the top 10 teams.

Teams J & H both finished on 24 points, which meant it went to the team with the least losses.  Both teams lost two games, which meant it went to the head to head match between the two, which team H won.  So the winners of the 2018-19 Winter League are

...Craig Aston, Dave Lee, Chris Hills & Simon Edbury.

Many congratulations to them, and commiserations to Team J - Brian Foden, Rick Ford, the President & Steve Bennett, who ran them so close. 

Ken Hall & Pete Burns did their best to spoil the Team H party today, but Craig Aston & Dave Lee eventually managed to get the half they needed.  Rick Ford and the President kept the pressure on to the end by beating Gary Johnstone & Garry Olson.

The Captain & Professional came very close yet again, finishing third with 23 points.

The Captain thanked everyone for taking part and playing throughout in the true spirit of winter league.  It was completed without a single day being cancelled and all the games were played on the normal greens.  The presentation to the winners will be at Opening Sides.

The final table:

24 Craig Aston, Dave Lee, Chris Hills & Simon Edbury

24 Brian Foden, Rick Ford, the President & Steve Bennett
