THE second and final round of the Glowing Shield staged by the Gloucester Veterans on Tuesday 11 November finished with a win for Anne Wand as the best of the Gloucester vets and for David Craig as the top Wingham player all of which no doubt contributed handily to Gloucester winning the Shield for 2025.
The day was the second of two rounds of the Glowing Shield following the first round at Wingham earlier in the year. Gloucester Veterans finished ahead of Wingham 631 points to 611.
The day’s event was an Individual Stableford with the top two visitors, David Craig and Earl Graham scoring 38 and 36 points respectively. For the Gloucester players Anne Wand was best with a handy 40 points just nudging Ken Kelly, 40, into second place by virtue of a countback in her favour.
Balls were won by Bill Murray, Derek Wand and Dale Rabbett 35, Karen Howarth and Steve Seymour 34, with Ian Maggs and Paul Griffith, 33, picking up the last ball trophies.
The Nearest-to-the-Pin trophies at the 4th and 13th holes were won by Gai Falla and Richard Lucas while at the 6th and 15th holes Karen Howarth and David Craig did the job.
On Tuesday 18 November the Gloucester Veterans were due to play a Four Ball Multiplier sponsored by Ros and Peter McIntyre. Next Tuesday Will Bosma will sponsor an Individual Stroke event.
