An excellent round of 75 was enough for Helen Barugh to claim the Ladies Championship - there was not much in it with only 2 holes to play - but Helen managed to finish birdie to hold off Lisa Emberson from York who played the back 9 in 1 over gross !  Emily Attwood won the Silver Division (for anyone with a WHS index of less than 21) with a fab net 68 including 7 pars on the back 9.  Sonia Simpson (The Oaks) made 3 birdies in her net 74 to claim Silver division runner up spot.  Michelle Burch used home advantage to good effect, parring the last 4 holes to shoot a magnificent net 63 and claim the bronze division trophy - just beating Karen Donal (Tadcaster) by 2 shots.  Well played to everyone and huge thanks to Heworth Golf Club - especially Eddie Travis for starter duties, Neil Ferguson for all the preparations in advance and of course the Greens and Catering teams ! 

John Mahan from the Oaks (Vice President of York Union) presented the trophies and Mike Ward (past President) was on scoring duties ! 

A great team effort !  

In absolutely birdie fest at the top of the leaderboard - the top 3 managed 26 birdies and 2 eagles in the 36 hole competition.  Don't be fooled into thinking it was easy though - Matt finished level par to win by 3 shots (from both Steve and Tom) after late night drive back from Scotland the evening before having just failed to make the cut at the Scottish Amateur event at North Berwick.  Creditable mentions George Robson and Alistair Smith, who finished a further 3 shots back, both putting together two respectable rounds.  Elsewhere there were some good 18 hole scores from Tom Ellerker (74 in the morning) and Nathan Wilkinson (71 in the afternoon).  Huge thanks to all Pike Hills for their support on the day !

The Tadcaster pair won a very tight contest with 6 pairs within 3 shots.  Foursomes is always a tough format and Kirkbymoorside always a good test (especially on a windy day !).

Ultimately 4 consecutive pars at the end of the back 9 was enough to to keep Caroline and Nick at the top of the field in a leaderboard where 6 of the top 7 teams represented either Tadcaster or Malton & Norton (thank you to both clubs for supporting the competition so well !) 

Huge thanks to all at Krikbymoorside for their support on the day !
