Edward Martin Tournament 26th May.
On a cold, cloudy Bank holiday Monday twelve players gathered to play the GC Edward Martin Tournament.
Colin was in charge of the organisation and 18 games progressed swiftly.
After semifinals the final was played between Tony Hyde and Heather Bennett. The nail-biting game ended with a score of 7 - 6 and Heather became the champion.
Much fun had by all!
