Double delight for Herons' Reach!

Blackpool Park Golf Club was a kind place for both of our visiting teams on Tuesday. The senior team kept there fantastic current form in the league by beating the Park 3.5 - 2.5 to keep their noses in front at the top of the league. It would be a fantastic achievement for the team to win the league in only their 2nd appearance in the Fylde Senior League. (Seniors league table attached, click here to access) 

But the big news of the night was the handicap team managed to win the Cockerill Cup for Herons' Reach! For those of you that don't know what this is, it is a Greensomes format knockout cup competition that is played out between all the golf clubs in the league. The final is a two legged affair in which the team won 3-2 at home last week. 

The away leg was played Tuesday night and it turned out to be an extremely tight affair! With the obvious advantage going to the home team for the last leg, it seemed it would be very tough to claim the trophy. However, with a fast start from Matt Mustow and Andy Baird, winning 5&3, there was daylight on the aggregate score of 4-2. Then, however the pendulum swung the other way, with the Park winning the next two to make it 2-1 on the night and 4-4 overall. 

Captain Justin Hatcher and partner Steve Lynn then edged herons' Reach closer to the trophy with one game still playing…. That game went down the 17th with the Park edging that 2&1 to make the overall score 5-5. Everyone predicted a close final between the 2 teams but extra holes after 2 full matches wasn't on the cards! 

So it was down to the last team out there to go back down the 1st hole, and Brad Sarjantson and Jason Fallon showed tremendous spirit by coming off that "regular time" defeat to win the trophy for Herons' Reach on the 1st extra hole!

It caps a great season after coming 3rd in the league after having an outside chance to win that on the last day and with the Cockerill Cup now in the bag, they look forward to the annual Rose Bowl in September to try and make it 2 trophies in a season! Well done to all who participated for the team over the season.
