The culmination of fourteen weeks of competition ended as the 18-hole Thursday Evening League final games were played today. Unfortunately, we were unlucky and lost two of the fourteen weeks to bad weather, but this not detract too much from what was an exciting and competitive league this year.
The pre-competition favourites and holders for the last two years were pushed all the way this year, but Easily Second managed to hang on to their lead and complete a hat-trick of league wins. Runners-up were Captain's Eleven who sneaked past Birdies & Bogeymen on the final day with Puurre in fourth place.
The Best-5 individual prize was extremely close with the top three all tied on 100 points. In the end, Danny Glover (Birdies & Bogeymen) just edged out Brian Matthews (Fore Pears) and Luke Bannister (One For The Road) courtesy of a better scoring average.
Even though TEL handicaps have been tumbling throughout the competition, the final day still produced some fantastic scoring. Today's 18-hole individual winner was Luke Bannister (One For The Road) with 41 points one point ahead of Jack Unsworth (Puurre) and Lizzie Swallow (Captain's Eleven).

Huge thanks to Nick and Lorraine for organising another very successful event. Also thanks to Fiona and her staff for keeping us "fed and watered" over the whole competition and special mention to Richard Holmes and his green staff who have worked tirelessly on the course this year.
Hope to see you all again next year.
