MINEHEAD and West Somerset Golf Club Seniors began the week with a Stableford competition. With the course drying rapidly the competition was set for a close result - and so it proved.

Nigel Trevelyan took the honours with 36 points, ahead of three players with 35 separated on countback; John Burrow came second followed by Doug Hayhoe and Peter Young.

On Friday, Round Five of the ongoing Trafalgar competition was played, at the end of which an excellent score of 42 points by Rob Poirrier and Steve Gay saw them climb the table.

Second place on countback with 41 points went to Steve Woodbury and Chris Durman ahead of Doug Hayhoe and Pete Young who scored one over par gross on the back nine.

After five rounds, the leaders based upon the best four scores recorded are Dave Oatridge and Roger Green, followed by Mike O’Keefe and Karl Granger, and Steve Gay and Rob Poirrier. Scores are close.
