HUW Powell shot 83-14- 69 to lift the George White Vase last Saturday at Pyle & Kenfig.
A birdie on the 14th green allied to eight pars got him over the finishing line to take the event by a single shot over Thomas Flint whose 72-2-70 contained a two on hole four; further birdies on five, 13 and 14 together with 10 pars.
Russell Jones fired 798-71 with a birdie on the third hole and 11 pars while Gerwyn Hopkins – son of Lakeside star David – went around in 82-10-72 (birdie on 13 and six pars).
Low gross round came from fifth-placed Matthew Peet with 71+1 = 72 (birdies on five and 11, 14 pars and two bogeys) and on the same mark was G Duncan Jenkins (90-1872).
