Handicap League crown goes to Collingtree

Collingtree team captain Samish Patel with NGU Vice President Roger Butler.

Collingtree Park secured a record sixth Handicap League crown by defeating reigning champions Wellingborough 16-0 in the final at Priors Hall GC.

After edging a tight contest with previously-unbeaten Hellidon Lakes in the last four, Collingtree made a confident start as Conor Rosling and Chris Malton won the opening tie by four holes.

Tony Greenhill and Mark Spring extended their lead by one, before Collingtree streaked clear with a five hole victory for Steve Cole and Andrew Dennis and a four hole success for Stuart Maddison and Josh Sampson.

Although Wellingborough produced a superb fightback to beat Hellidon in the final 12 months ago, any hopes of a repeat were ended when Collingtree captain Samish Patel and Michael Knight took game five by two.

The last match was halved as Collingtree lifted the trophy for the first time since 2011.
