The last of this season’s County Knockout competitions was hosted by The Springs golf club. 

The four teams competing for the Ann Starkey Trophy were The Wychwood, Witney Lakes, Frilford Heath and Studley Wood. The semi-finals were played in mixed weather conditions and for a time, the driving rain made play difficult for the competitors. The eventual victorious teams were from Studley Wood and Frilford Heath. Fortunately, before the sun came out for the afternoon’s session and the course provided a fitting challenge for our finalists. 

With closely contested games in all 3 matches, the stalwart Studley Wood players managed to see off the formidable Frilford team and claim the trophy. 

Our thanks go to all of the staff at The Springs. The organisation on the day made the event very easy for us to manage. Particular mention to Matt, Dale and their teams, to the Greenkeepers, to Libby for the catering planning and to Nora and Pat and the members of the ladies’ section at the club. Everyone made us feel very welcome.
