SENIOR CUP 2013

FIRST EVENT ---2013 SENIOR CUP

Our opening event of the year was held at East Brighton on 

Sunday April 14th.

Morning matches saw Brighton and Hove beat Dyke GC, and West Hove defeating the home team led by non-playing Captain Gary Brayshaw.

So the Plate final was between Dyke and East Brighton with East Brighton winning fairly easily 4-1.

The main event for the Senior Cup produced some fine golf and after 3 matches things were all square. But Gary Salt, Mark Gully, Elliot Meeten and Keith Fender in the last 2 matches saw West Hove through 3.5-1.5.

West Hove's team were:- Colin Harrocks, Mark Haggert, Dan Milligan, Damon Raikes, Steve Nielsen, Jonny Ingram, Gary Salt, Mark Gully, Elliot Meeten and Keith Fender.

MIXED CUP 2012

This was to be the deciding event for this year's Victor Ludorum trophy---there was a nail-biting finish to the morning play at West Hove. The home team and Brighton & Hove were all  square and a play-off was needed. Stuart Rodger and daughter Stacey beat Peter Ward and Judy McKemey on second extra hole. In the other semi--Dyke GC beat East Brighton.

So the outcome of the Victor Ludorum was still not settled with all to play for in the afternoon.

West Hove played Dyke in the final and won the first 2 matches, however Dyke players held fast in the last 3 matches to see them retain the Mixed Cup.
