Sunday saw a slightly smaller than normal mixed field line up for the Islington Cup - a teams best ball stroke event. This year we were very lucky to have the support of Little India Bistro and Tandoor as sponsors and we thank Sukhi Gill and Jose Pallippat for their contribution not only to the prize table but also in providing "A Taste of India" for the aftermatch meal (a Rojan Josh Lamb, a Butter Chicken and a Spiced Vegetarian served with basmati rice).
With a nett 55 the successful team was Tony & Annette McKeogh, Vaughan McMillan and Linda Sumner. In second place was the team of Richard & Rosemary McElrea and Peter & Kathryn Phelan on nett 59 - they completed the front 9 in a nett 24 but faded somewhat on the homeward 9. Bruce & Ruth Cooper accompanied by Shaun & Cher Xiong were third on nett 60 just one ahead of the Gillespies - Andrew & Robyn and the Richmonds - Chris & Helen on nett 61 (at the front of the field they finished in 3 hours 40!!)
The individual prizes fell as follows; two's were recorded by Linda Sumner and Dodge Healey - 3 balls each while Tony Park was closest to the pin for two for men and Terry Cain secured the women's prize being nearest for three.
The next Mixed event is the Hill Skinner Cup for Husbands and Wives a four-ball par on Sunday 31 October. Please note only one of the pairing need be a member of the Club so it is a chance for you to show your spouse Shirley at near its best if your partner plays somewhere else. In an inclusive spirit there will be a section for"other pairings".
