* Last Wednesday the seniors battled it out for the Transatlantic Trophy, played in memory of the late Dougie Gordon who set up the competition and donated the coveted silverware many years ago.

A field of 41 players relished the challenge of a medal round, and the pick of the bunch was Bernie Stafford (20), scoring a superb nett 67.

A remarkable 69 from Bruce Wong (17) was only good enough for second place, while Alan Smaggasgale (12) had to settle for third with his nett 70.
