CENTENARY PLATE FINALS 2026
TAUNTON & PICKERIDGE GOLF CLUB |
FINAL RESULTS 06 September 2026
WIN FOR BURNHAM & BERROW |
After starting in April 2026 with 21 teams, it all came down to the final day at Taunton and Pickeridge Golf Club. The sun was out with a breeze to keep the focus. The recent hot, dry conditions had left the inevitable unpredictable bounce. Congratulations to both clubs for getting their team to the final. The winner this year, of the Centenary Plate, is Burnham and Berrow. Well done. Commiserations to Worlebury, who found on form opponents.
Taunton and Pickeridge were excellent hosts, resulting in the whole day running smoothly. Thank you to Rose Jarvis for thinking of everything in the run up to the day. Thank you to the green staff for presenting the course in the best condition they could. To Ellie Shattock and her team for providing an excellent post match tea and keeping everyone fed and watered throughout the day. Thank you to Lyn Gridley, the Ladies Captain, who welcomed the players and caddies early on in the day and then returning to support and celebrate the winners. Jason Avery in the pro shop, thank you.

CENTENARY PLATE FINALS 2025
THE MENDIP GOLF CLUB |
I could just copy and paste last year's weather forecast for the day. We awoke to heavy rain, thunder and lightning with the course closed. However, good fortune turned that around, so by the time the players teed off at 1.20, the threat was gone. It did however, rain intermittently, with wind and a chill factor, so conditions were... challenging!
It was match of nip & tuck, with one pair gaining a hole, then the other bringing it back to all square, so much so that the match went up the 19th. Taunton & Pickeridge eventually won the hole and the match, to relief all round as the rain was starting to tumble again.
Congratulations to T&P, and commiserations to Stockwood Vale, who fought hard with such a small women' section.
A huge thank you goes to The Mendip who were able to host the final with little notice, as the planned venue of T&P, with Stockwood Vale as a spare was not sign to work with both teams in the final. The post-match tea and cake selection was thoroughly appreciated by all.
And thanks to Jeanette Cook & James Wilde, our referees for the day, and Sandra Ford for starting the match and presenting the trophies.
