Holsworthy golfers retain their title

The Holsworthy Golf Club Men’s Team were at it again last week, competing in the Devon County Palairet plate, with the competition taking place at a magnificent looking Tiverton Golf Club, that was playing at its very best.

Holsworthy were defending the Plate they won in 2023 and the team consisting of Ian Kirby, Ed Roberts, Ian French, Trevor Abbot, Paddy ford and John Bewes, did not disappoint, winning by four clear points ahead of Exeter in second place and Teignmouth in third. Well done Holsworthy for retaining their title.

More Locally, The Dickerson’s Cup was played, an individual stableford round, for one of the oldest trophies in the club. The scores were tight at the top, with the course proving tough for most.

Third place went to Mike Lake with 35 points, second to Gary Bridle with 36 points, but clinching the cup by a single point, Tony Richardson was presented with the cup by Men’s Captain, Mark Brumham. An excellent result all round.
