The third Sidmouth Jewellers Friday stableford was won for the second time in succession by Jim Anderton, this time with 39 points, winning on countback from Steve Johnston, writes John Barnard.

It was a solid round of golf by Jim with eleven pars and nothing worse than a bogie. Pretty much the opposite for Steve.

Off his handicap of 19, he had a remarkable four birdies but also some double bogies and no score on two of the last three holes which cost him a win.

A bit more consistency and his handicap will fly down. In third place was Mike Knight with 36 points.

Mike is enjoying a good start to the season and had a couple of birdies but a no score on the ninth proved expensive

In the Sidmouth Jewellers Friday night league table, David Burgess extended his lead to four points as Kevin Legg couldn’t play in this week’s competition. Jim Anderton’s recent wins has pushed him into third place but still nine points behind David who is consolidating his early good start.
