First silverware of November decided in Bill Anderson Memorial Trophy

The first silverware of the new month went to Steve Bateman as he won the Bill Anderson Memorial Trophy which is awarded to the best overall score in the November Medal. Bateman carded a gross 73 which, when his playing handicap was deducted, gave him a nett 66 and was two better than runner up Tony Richards. He also won the Division One Medal from Richards with the duo recording the only two sub-par scores on the day. Dave Porter was third on 69. Level par 69 was the winning score in the Second Division and two of those scores had be separated by a countback. Steve Barker was declared the winner with the better back nine over Steve Mason with Mark Jenkins taking third on 71 after another countback. The computer was working overtime as it was also called in action to decide the outcome of the Division Three award. Dave Bradley secured the win with his nett 71 and just beat Dave Glasby who matched that score on the back nine. Ian Adams took third.
