Over 100 competitors battled the testing conditions of wind and rain and as well as qualifying for the next stage of the Lexus Challenge both Thrush and Edwards qualify for the club’s annual medal final on Saturday, September 19.

Men’s captain Gordon Abernethy and ladies’ captain Judith Abernethy have won this year’s mixed foursomes against another family team of Mal and Charlotte Heath. It is the first time that a team made up of the men’s and ladies’ captains has won the event.

John Healey and Mike Turner have fought through four rounds of this year’s Halifax-Huddersfield Union handicap foursomes to reach the final at Huddersfield GC on Sunday, September 20, in which they will play Outlane.
