HONITON - The last two weeks have seen the men of Honiton compete for the last 36 Hole trophy of the season, the Marker Cup.

Week one saw Bob Bilyard master the controls of his buggy and his golf swing for the round of the day 65. Paul Coates finished second in the division with a creditable 67. Div 2 was won by Steve Bromby with a 67, comfortably beating Dean Bonetta, four back on 71.

Week two saw Alan Seager triumph in Div 1 on countback from Stan Squire , both finishing with a 66. In Div 2 only a countback could separate the top three, with Steve Bromby triumphing over Buzz Harris and Geoff Filtness. But it was a countback which inevitably pushed Steve into second place overall. His 67 + 67= 134 was narrowly beaten by Stan Squire with his better back 18, 68 + 66= 134.

Following their success in the Honiton Challenge, the Seniors took on the ladies' section with the Otter Trophy at stake. This is a keenly- fought contest every year with no quarter given or taken. It would be ungentlemanly to mention the score, but the men won. Consolation for the ladies was the splendid performance of captain Sue Selway and vice captain Elizabeth Ward who led from the front and saw off their opposite numbers 2 and 1.

AXE CLIFF - The ladies played their September Stableford in blustery conditions with the occasional shower in the morning. The winner of Division 1 was Barbara Cummings (25) with 37 points and the winner of the second Division was Margaret Brown (26) with 28 points.

The Seniors returned to winning ways when the team visited Long Sutton for a return inter- club match. Having won the earlier fixture at Axe Cliff, this win produced a notable double as well as the third win away from home this season. The margin was 31/2. to 21/2 and the winning pairings for Axe Cliff were Brian Wilkes/John Pugh; Gilbert Cox/Hugh Willis and Peter Knighting/Morrison Brown. The half point was gained by Tony Strong partnered with Rob Grove.

On a showery Friday, 30 Seniors took part in a Charity game for the Captain's Trophy. Despite intermittent rain, Keith Wilson (12), scored a very commendable 38 points to win the trophy beating Sid Pember (18) with 37 points into second place. Third spot went to Paul Burgess (23) with 36 points.
