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.

CENTENARY PLATE FINALS 2024
BATH GOLF CLUB |
The weather looked threatening for this exciting final so we were very relieved not to hear the threatened klaxon. Many congratulations to Mendip Spring as it is the first time that they have won this inter club knockout since it started in 2001. They narrowly beat Cannington who also deserve congratulations for being one of the smallest clubs in the county and who had not played in a final before.
Thank you to James Wilde for refereeing the match and to Sandra Ford for being the Starter and presenter of the trophies.
Thanks also to Bath Golf Club for hosting the final and provings a super selection of cakes for the post-match tea.
