Twenty one teams took part. Clubs had to have a player in each of four handicap bands between six to 15.

Woodsome’s quartet all played well. Tomlinson went round in 75 (nett 68) but teammate Paul Russell had a rare struggle and finished adrift of his teammates on 97.

West End pro Darren Arber said the course had “bared its teeth.”

He added: “There was a blustery wind and it played to its full length. Some of the pins were tucked away at the request of the Union.”
