A cracker from Cracker !

Sunday 20th October 2024

Hole in 1 for Sandburn Hall player at York's 2nd hole !

Ian Waddington (commonly known as Cracker) was casually picking his tee peg up after hitting a 7 iron at the 2nd hole at York Golf club in today's Cross Trophy - only for his playing partners to inform him he had made an ace !  He was reportedly 'chuffed to bits' to make his 2nd hole in 1.  Cracker, who plays off 9.4 and partner Kevin Drinkeld ended up in 29th place with 35 points, but more importantly won the fiver off their playing partners Rogerson and Brown.   

Heworth extend lead after two more Cross Trophy events

Sunday 20th October 2024

Over 200 players brave tough conditions to keep Cross Trophy hotly contested !

At York Golf Club, Malton & Norton pair Steve Simpson and Mark Hoal blew away the field - winning by 4 shots with a fantastic score of 45 points on a day when most of the field failed to make par.  A phenomenal performance !  It was a much closer affair at Easingwold with David Spofforth and Charlie Watling from York sneaking the win on countback (B9 24pts) from Jim Batt jr and Adam Guildford (B9 23 pts).  

Cross Table below with the top four unchanged - Pike Hills biggest movers up to 5th.
