North aim to go one better

GOLF: NORTH Manchester will be looking to drop the bridesmaids tag in this season’s Oldham and District Golf League cup and plate competitions.

The Rhodes-based club were losing finalists in both ‘A’ and ‘B’ knock-out events last season — to Ashton and Stamford respectively — and the draws have now been made for this season’s clashes.

Their ‘A’ team go to neutral venue Oldham to face Werneth while the North ‘B’ outfit meet Oldham at Blackley.

The 2014 league season, which sees North and Stamford defending the league titles, begins in two weeks’ time.
