Golf - Park's home delight
LONGLEY Park made home course advantage pay in Sunday's Halifax, Huddersfield and District Union Second Division Scratch Team Championship event.
Matthew Colcolmbe's 71 helped their four-man line-up to a total to 292 for a three shot win over Lightcliffe.
Todmorden (308) and Queensbury (311) were next and the top four teams go forward to the First Division event for the Founders Trophy at Meltham on Sunday, July 26.
Bradley Park and Marsden did not turn up and will not be allowed to play in this competition in 2010 while Clive McFadzean failed to sign his card playing for Castlefields, meaning only nine teams returned scores.
Union officials have finally run out of patience with players who fail to attend the prize presentation.
Second placed team Lightcliffe and Crow Nest Park's Nathan Scott, who had the best gross, were not there and the prize vouchers go into the junior coaching and development fund.
