Outlane’s Eddie Casper (10) and John Morris (18) made the most of the warm, dry conditions to head a tightly-packed field at the Hove Edge club with 42 stableford points.

Early starters at 8.36 am, they picked up 22 points on their first lap of well-manicured course and 20 second time around.

Consistency was the key with two and three point returns from 17 of the 18 holes.

Home club players Chris Mowl (2) and Richard Langley-Webb (10) chased them home in the am-am section with 41 points - a score matched by three combinations who shared first place in the pro-am section.

West End’s Darren Arber, the new Alliance president, had a respectable 38-point return partnering Mick Holroyde (10).

The next event is at Dewsbury on Thursday, October 16.
