It is organised each year by the Manchester and District Golf Alliance (MDGA) and the teams comprise the club professional and top six amateurs in the very competitive singles match-play contest.
There were over 100 clubs in the original entry with nearly 50 Cheshire clubs involved aiming to reach the finals day traditionally hosted each year at Dunham Forest Golf The semi-finals saw Dukinfield beat Chorlton and Wychwood Park beat Heaton Moor to see teams from opposite ends of east Cheshire aiming to win the prestigious trophy.
MDGA President Ian Brooks praised and welcomed both teams for being winners in reaching this stage. Dunham Forest set up a terrific stage for the final both on and off the course for both teams and their supporters to enjoy with good weather to back it.
Wychwood got off to a flier winning the first three matches through James Voce, 5/3, Gary Pickford two up and Geoff Marchant 4/3. before Colin McWiggan3/2and Nicky Platt 5/3 gave hope for Dukinfield.
But the win was secured by Wychwood pro Tom Metcalfe over Dave Green by 5/3 to the delight of his team and supporters.
The other match was declared all-square between Martyn Schofield (Dukinfield) and James Picariello (Wychwood) to see Wychwood home by 4.5-2.5.
The trophy and prizes were presented on the delightful outside terrace at Dunham with thanks given to all by Ian Brooks and the Captains of Dunham Forest, Dukinfield and Wychwood for a great day of top golf.
