Smith Continues The Chase

LEIGH Golf Club’s hard-working green staff saw their labours rewarded as the course stood the test of some heavy rain and provided a good challenge for another strong Alliance field.

Swinton Park’s David Smith continued from last week in his chase of professional Order of Merit leader Graham Cox from Davenport with a fine return of 36 points seeing him home by a point from Didsbury’s Danny Wardrop and Hart Common’s Steve Parry.

Home pairs dominated the am am section with Leigh secretary Antony O’Neill and Paul Sherwood leading in with 41 points.

Breaking up a Leigh domination were Stamford’s Tony Smith and Lee Compton who took second spot after a cpo on 39 points from another home pair Kevin Kinney and Peter Connolly.
