Bob (West) and Stuart (East)
The annual East v West competition took place on a very chilly but dry morning and on a course that was emerging well from the Autumn leaf fall and the greens were in great condition. Four four ball groups set out with two from each team in each group. It was good to get back into the warmth of the Club House where the stapleford scores were added and (For only the second time since the event began) the East Group was declared the winner of the East/West Compass Trophy by 226 points to 208. Andy Brown was the leading scorer on the day with 39 points.
