If it was the World Cup Jules Rimet Trophy, rather than the Mirror Trophy, Nick Cherrie would get to keep it! Nick’s brilliant 36 points, at a beautiful Woking, meant he landed the trophy for the third time in succession.
He took Division 1, followed home by Jonny Bramley, with 33 points, and Ollie McCormack (28).
In Division 2, the evergreen Chris Stevens, playing off a handicap that was approaching half his age, took the honours with a fine 35 points, trailed by Colin Hancock, with 31, and John Quinn (29).
Despite Biblical quantities of rain the day previously and a forecast of more to come, the Woking course was at its finest, its tricky greens a graveyard for the unwary.
The overcast conditions at the start of the day improved for the afternoon’s greensomes battle for the Wilkinson Sword. Again the incumbent (or at least half of the pair) in the form of Colin Hancock, this year partnered by Rick Evans (unusually making it out for an afternoon round), took the honours and will be sharing the sword for 12 months.
They were followed home by Ollie McCormack & Steve Lewis with 31 points and John Quinn & Jim Murray in third place a further two points in arrears.
