In the Dorset County seniors championship, many congratulations to Lyme Regis’s David Lock who came runner up in the scratch competition and won the Handicap Championship.

Well done to Caroline Baker who won the Coronation Cup, a competition played by all male and female medal winners from the previous year.

Melissa McMahon, Jane Southcombe and Jenny Scott were the victorious Lyme ladies in the quarter finals of the Humphreys’ Bowl with a 2-1 win over Sherborne

In the junior order of merit competition Suzie Coalter scored a brilliant nett 61 and pushed James Phillips into second place with 69 from Cameron Moss on 71.

Both Suzie and James have performed very well this year and seen their handicaps reduced accordingly, adding to the many successful juniors at Lyme.

Last, but certainly not least this week, Lyme Regis’ Hardy B team beat Moors Valley 3-2 in a very close run contest.
