It was the teams representing Ralph Rowe who were triumphant again as Gosfield Lake Golf Club hosted the 27th O’Shea/Rowe Challenge Trophy.

The prize for the winning team was won by David Turner, Ralph Rowe, Barney DeBeer and Geoff Powdrill with a nett score of 53.5 that included two eagles and seven birdies.

In second place were Alan Cansell, Ray Brown, Del Boon and Ken Fraser with nett 58.5, followed in third by the team of Alan Furness, John Barrick, Mark Loring and James Robinson.

With all three leading teams playing for the Rowe side it was inevitable that the Challenge Shield was won by the Rowe teams with a cumulative margin of 12.9, with Mike O’Shea presenting the trophy to Rowe.
