ASHTON’S Patrick Stubbs scored 42 Stableford points to win the final of the recently-launched Lancashire boys' under-14 programme.

DARREN Hoolickin won the captain’s day prize at Blackley with a two-round nett total of 10-under-par 132.

The 12 handicapper shot rounds of 67 and 65, which was a superb return given the white tees in use and even tougher pin positions.

That gave him a one-shot victory over 14 handicapper Marc Greenhalgh
