MARTYN Cook and Pete Hawkins have been presented with the Maldon Golf Club Winter League trophy.

The presentation ceremony, which was held on Sunday, was the culmination of 16 weeks of competitive winter golf, during which over 30 pairs competed for the Ben Volta Trophies.

This year it was decided to play the competition as two eight-week leagues.

Cook and Hawkins ran out winners of leagues one and two, thereby avoiding the need for a head-to-head play-off and they were presented with their winners’ trophies.

Prior to the trophy presentation, the Sunday swindle was contested by 40 members, playing in teams of four, with the best three stableford scores on each hole counting towards the team’s final total.

RESULTS: 1 Alan Dunsdon, Jim Scott, Peter Bibby and Ricky Wilson with 116 pts, 2 Terry Butcher, Matt Pepper, George Watson and Dave Vidler 105 pts. 3 Alan Syrett, Steve Gearey, Nigel Cook and Mike Ecart 104 pts ocb, 4 Paul Shires, Marley Read, Steve Lawrence and Mick Kempen 104.

Nearest-the-pin: par three 5th/14th: Garth Milford; 6th/15th Alan Dunsdon.

Maldon’s seniors contested the qualifying competition for the Tony Stevenson trophy.

The winner with 31 points was Tony Reece-Ford who goes forward to represent the seniors against the qualifiers from the ladies’, full-members’ and juniors’ sections of the club in the four-way final at the end of the summer.

Maldon’s ladies contested their Medal One.

Results: 1 L Reilly, 2 S Gardiner, 3 J Chamberlain.
