UNDER the captaincy of Sam Preston, Brynhill Golf Club's 2nd team beat Pontypridd, which was their final league match of the year.

This was a really crucial match, as Brynhill needed the win to have promotion to the next division.

They have now been promoted for the second year running. This is quite an achievement and well deserved as the team played superbly all year.

Congratulations to all the team members Sam Preston (captain), Aaron Smith, Dave Slee, Alistair Woodward, Rhys Williams and Matthew Little.

Teams of four players entered the fun Texas Scramble competition which was a mixed open event.

The weather stayed dry thankfully after having had heavy rain the previous evening. Teams came from Frome, Pontypridd and Woodlake Park.

They extolled the virtues of the Brynhill course which they thought was exceptional and they would definitely be returning next year and the ladies for the Ladies Open event in the summer.

The Ladies' captain Glynis Gould and Derek Coombes presented the prizes in the golf club where all players had been fed and watered by the bar and catering staff. Thanks to Kath(bar manageress) and Gareth and Mark Dommett (the caterers).
