Pendle B Trophy goes to Middlesborough by Barbara Dutton (21/5/07)
The Advanced ‘B’ Class Tournament was held over two days, 19/20 May. The weather was kind and the lawns played well.
Fourteen players competed travelling from as far away as Woking, Tyneside and Liverpool. At the end of day one Peter McDermott and Peter Wilson were joint leaders and finished the day playing each other, a game which Peter McDermott eventually won. At the start of the last round (Round 5), Peter Wilson, Peter McDermott and Tom Griffiths were equal on 4 wins each. Tom Griffiths did a triple peel to win his round 5 match. After a marathon battle Peter McDermott of Middlesborough fought his way to a win.
