PAUL Neale and Verity Rosewarne were the stars of Colne Valley Golf Club's Captain's Day as 64 members competed in glorious sunshine for the men's and ladies' sections' Captain's Cup.

Club vice-captain Neale took the men's silverware with an excellent 39 points, despite his round beginning with a double bogey seven on the first.

But this turned out to be the only one for his round.

He made net pars for the next seven holes and a par on the ninth saw him grab his first three-pointer of the day and an opening 18 points from the front nine.

He started steadily on the back nine, but five pars on the bounce from 14 pushed his back nine tally to 21 points.

Current club champion Paul Davies claimed the runners-up spot, two points adrift of the leader on 37.

He started from the tenth and a steady 18 points for his first nine included a great birdie on the par-three 13th with the hole playing in excess of 200 yards.

His second nine started off with a bang - a four-point haul from an eagle on the first - and he grabbed his second birdie of the day on the ninth.

Daniel Starr was third with 36 points, with his round including six pars.

The ladies Captain’s Cup was won by Verity Rosewarne, who went out in 24 points for the front nine including pars on both the third and ninth.

She managed 13 points for the inward nine including two three-pointers on 13th and 17th.

Lyn White claimed the runners-up spot, two points adrift on 35 and on countback from Lesley Knight.

White's round included an excellent 22 points on the back nine, amassed thanks to pars on 11 and 17, both yielding four points.

Knight enjoyed a solid round with 17 points from the front nine and 18 from the inward holes.

Nearest the pins were claimed by Lynn Anderson (third and 17th), Paul Neale (8th), Paul Davies (13th), Tom Murton and Penny Lang (7th in two).

Club captain Andy Wilkinson and lady captain Jan Eves thanked Tom Smith and his team for a course set up in splendid condition.
