Pendle Mid-Week AC Tournament 3-6 July 2018
Under baking hot skies with the lawns getting faster, yellower and more difficult by the minute, 12 competitors battled for the 7 trophies on offer.
An outstanding performance by Joe Lennon from Glasgow saw him win the Low Handicap Block and the overall Egyptian Trophy. The Advance Event was won by Terry Vernazza (Newcastle) with the C Class Advanced event going to Ian Hall from Penrith. The High Bisque Handicap Event was won by Wendy Spencer- Smith who had travelled all the way up from Watford. The Doubles Trophy was re-gained by the Peters – Hallett and Wilson. Fastest Game went to Peter Wilson and Most Games played to Bob Thompson (Pinchbeck).
All games were played in good spirits and much laughter was heard over the four days. Smartest Sun Shade prize to (it’s a mystery!). The manager was VERY jealous. We look forward to seeing you all again next year.
