PRESIDENT’S DAY
The next club competition will take place on Sunday 10th July, when we will be playing for the President’s Cup. This will be a singles handicap with a plate competition for players losing in their first game.
There will be cakes available to purchase on the day and any contributions of cakes would be appreciated. There will also be a raffle and donations of prizes for this will also be gratefully received. All proceeds will go towards club funds.
Please note that this competition will start at the earlier time of 11.00 am, so please register at the green by 10.45 am so that we can make the draw in time for a prompt start.

SOUTHPORT FEDERATION
The Southport Federation team had an excellent win in their June fixture, winning 22 points to 10 against Eccles.
The home leg was played at Scarisbrick NSC and Southport won 8-4, which included wins for Hesketh Arms’ players Fergal Wright (21-16) and Andy Draper (21-19).
The away team travelled to Moorlands Sports and Social Club in Salford and won the aggregate there by a single chalk, with both teams having six winners. Of the Hesketh Arms players in the away side, there were wins for Kez Adams (21-20), Mark Wilde (21-9) and Darren Edgerley (21-14).
