LIZ and Ted Newton brought success to Bromsgrove Golf Club by winning the Staverton Open at Daventry last weekend.

The pair won the event in Northampton with 62 points.

But it was not quite a similar success story in the West Midlands League where the Stratford Road club narrowly failed at home to North Worcestershire Golf Club. In a tight game the points were shared 2-2.

The thriving junior section started its season with James Wheeler taking an early lead after the first round of matches in League A. Chris Mole leads League B.

Elsewhere, Bromsgrove senior ladies defeated local rivals Gaudet Luce GC 3 and 2.

But Bromsgrove pair Donald Fung and Rob Greening were beaten in the Birmingham 17-24 Golf League Chairman's Trophy.
