Axe Cliff seniors played their Medford Trophy competition last Friday which was a mixed medal and stableford format, writes Pete Motson.

The trophy was won for the third consecutive year by Bob Graham.

It was a close contest throughout though, for countback was used to see 23-hanidcapper Bob into first with a nett score of 22 points.

That was also the score from 18-handicapper Rob Grove who, after countback, had to settle for the runners-up slot.

Third, with 23 points, was 20-handicapper Alan Vincent.

Tony Strong was the only player to score a two.
