Hornsea pair take tankards at Kirkby
The region’s winter golf alliances are now in full swing and The East Riding and District of York Alliance have now completed three competitions, the last being held at Kirkbymoorside.
The d e f e n d i n g c h a mpions North Cliff, who led the league standings by two shots at the start of play, put in another strong effort.
Fraser Kelley (0) and Alan Richardson (10) finished in a three-way tie for first place with a net 63 and were well supported by Andy Allcock (2) and Dave Ellard (6), who posted a net 65 for a team total of 128.
Their nearest challengers Hainsworth Park played well and posted scores of 64 and 65 and are still hot on North Cliff ’s heels.
The two other pairs who tied for first place in the better ball were Paul Lockwood (0) and Brian Calum (13) of Hessle and Steve Uzzell (0) and Sam Middleton (5) from Hornsea, but it was the latter who picked up the tankards due to having the better back nine of the three tied pairs.
