A TOP class field has been lined up for next week's Page Trophy, the blue riband event of the Halifax and Huddersfield Alliance calendar.
The 36 hole individual medal takes place at Crosland Heath, and a quality selection of leading local amateur players and professionals are vying to add their names to the illustrious list of winners of this historic event.
Last year, Brian Thomson
of Crosland Heath triumphed at Halifax GC on a day of glorious sunshine, and this year the trophy takes place on his home course next Tuesday, April 29.
But he will find it tough against a classy field, while the accompanying professionals' event should also provide a fascinating test of golf with the likes of David Astin and Darren Arber in the shake up.
