Werneth book last-16 place

GOLF:

WERNETH are through to the last 16 of the Archie Preston mixed foursomes after a 5-2 home win over Chorlton-cum-Hardy.

Captain Derek Ashford led the way when he and Pat Grant claimed a 7&5 success.

And there were more successes through Lee Rowbotham and Brenda Martin (6&5) and Pete and Marilyn Griffin (4&3) before final green wins for Adam Rowbotham and Sheila Whittingham (1up) and John Yemm and Sheila Waterhouse (1up) clinched victory.

There is a three-way tie after round one of the SADDLEWORTH’S Committee Cup, one of the club’s major competitions.

Jeff Howarth (78-8-70), John Millward (87-17-70) and David George (80-10-70) lead the way going into the second round, which takes place this weekend.
