The Ron Parkinson Memorial Trophy was won in style by Crosland Heath’s professional Richard Lambert and Paul Land, playing off 10, with a fine 42 points.

Crosland Heath also took the am-am in the Alliance at Elland with Les Dyson and Mike Haigh, both off 14, on 40 points.

It was a perfect sunny day and the course was dry and well presented – and the greens were fairly fast, although a little bumpy.

Tied in second in the pro-am behind Lambert and Land were Garreth Evans and Mark Campbell (7) of Crow Nest Park and Nigel Hirst and Hendrik Murray (14) of Dewsbury.

Lambert had four birdies and Land one gross and two net birdies.

Campbell had the only net eagle in the pro-am, this at the opening hole of the back nine.

A three-way tie on 39 points for second in the am-am was resolved by a back-nine countback with Frank Greaves (2) and Alan Platten (11) in second for Todmorden, Peter Brearley (20) and Dean Wright (19) of Crow Nest Park in third and, just out of the prizes in fourth, were Mike Dempsey (11) and Pete Newey (14) of Huddersfield.

There were eight net eagles in the am-am and, unusually, all were at different holes.

The Club Championship has been won by Crosland Heath on 416 points from Meltham on 403 and Outlane on 400.

The Order of Merit for club pros is very tight with Lambert just one point ahead of Tom Wild, with Darren Arber a further five points back.

All will be decided at the Page Trophy.

The next Alliance is the Page Trophy at Crosland Heath on Tuesday, May 5.
