CAPTAIN elect Andy Thomas was the winner Division One of the October Medal with a superb nett 67 but he lost out on collecting the Fred Baker Trophy, for the best score in the top two divisions, as Division Two winner Wayne Barrett pipped him on countback with his better back nine in his nett 67.

Barrett also had to survive a countback to secure top post in his Division with John Cullinan also returning another nett 67.

Thomas enjoyed a bigger winning margin of 3 shots ahead of Steve Bateman in the top flight.

The Stanley Trophy was awarded to the leading player in Division Three and this year that went to Bob Masterman with his nett 74 a couple of strokes ahead of Jeff Read on 76.

The previous day the Bowmaker Trophy was up for grabs and the format demanded some good golf from all three players to have any chance of glory.

Gordy Wheelaghan was the backbone of the winning trio as he played well under his handicap and he was ably assisted by the steady pair of Richard Triscott and Dave Bradley as they produced a stunning score of 125 to win by four.

Runners up were the final group off the course made up of Jerry Brueford, Roy Fletcher and Steve Payne who managed a very good 129 for the second place prize money.

Third spot went to Ian Adams, Barrie Tucker and Roger Phillips on 132.

The final home game of 2015 took place for the Seniors on Thursday afternoon as they faced Oake Manor Seniors.

Their counterparts from Taunton brought a strong team and a close game ensued.

The home side ably led by captain elect Barry Fisher, in Bob Hurrell's, absence won 3.5 points from the first four games but the Oake tail wagged to leave the final score at 3.5 to 2.5 in favour of the hosts.
