Terrific finish snatches trophy

Josh Chamberlain & Brian How had a terrific finish to snatch the Breckland Cups greensomes event at Thetford on Sunday.

They finished with three pars and birdies at both the 17th and 18th holes to total 43pts, just beating Nolan Guthrie & Andrew Knowles on countback.

Third place went to Mark Henfield & Paul Pearce with 42 while Steve Burridge & Mike Smith were fourth with 40.

Other scores: 39 Peter Croker & John Ward, Bryan Muggeridge & Jon Olpin, Matt Harben & Rob Taylor and Glenn Beardsall & Gareth Mills; 38 Maurice Anderson & Steve Campbell and Shaun Langham & Richard Scott; 37 Phil Beer & Kevin Cooke, Tony Brooks & Brian Youngs, Rob Bentley & Pat Gould, Matt Wabe & Matt West and Ian Farnham & Andrew Horsburgh.

Thetford’s bid for glory in the NCGU Scratch Cup ended with a 5-0 defeat away to Bawburgh in the quarter-finals on Saturday.

In the top match Owen Mills was two up after five but slipped behind and eventually lost 6&4 to county regular Jack Cullington.

Josh Chamberlain, Gareth Thomas, Jason Huggins and Rob Taylor also lost their matches as the home team put in an impressive performance.

Thetford have another chance in a county inter-club knock-out when they go to Sprowston Manor to play Costessey Park in the semi-final of the Myhill Trophy on Sunday (August 18).
