Trevor Innard retained the Rochford Cup on Sunday. Last year’s winner was level par for the morning back nine holes to go 6 up at halfway and although opponent Baz Patel put in a spirited afternoon performance, Innard was never likely to give up his grip on the trophy and took the match 4&3.

The ladies Gold Medal became almost match-play as two players finished several shots clear of the remainder. It was Susan Meddle (150) who eventually took first prize from Teresa Hirons (152) and third placed Pam Hayhurst (160).

It was a similar story in the Full Stableford as Lorna Steel (36) won with a 12 point margin from runner-up Gilian Lang (24) and Gloria Goldring (23) in third.

It was a family affair on Sunday as the Mounsey’s completed a 1-2 in the Gold Medal. With the fine weather encouraging some sparkling golf, it was Trevord Innard (66) who led the way after the morning round, but it was young Nicholas (69) who finished in great style and 137 to take first place from runner-up Richard (140) and third placed Andrew Nash (142).

In the Silver Medal, Chris Robinson (69) secured first place on countback from Graham Jones (69) and Jonathan Watson (73) in third.

The ladies contested the Norah Shinn and with just 2 points separating the first three places, count back was again required to decide the outcome and eventual winner Barbara Hall (32) just taking the honours from Teresa Hirons (32) and third placed Susan Meddle (31).
