Sheila and John Dornan made it a family affair when they won the Paxman Trophy last weekend at Colchester Golf Club.

Presented to the Club to Celebrate Paxman's Centenary in 1965 this foursomes Stableford, in any membership combination, is a tough nut to crack. 

The Dorman's received eighteen shots and used them to return 40 points and narrowly defeat Alan Sharrocks and Cai James after a countback.

Sharrocks and James who received just two shots put in an extraordinary round to get to their 40 points. Ruing a bad start were Barrie Minns and Pete Manby (13) who recorded a strong finish to score 39 and got third place, with Carol and Alan Irvine (24) in fourth with 37 points.

Sharrocks and James comfortably won the Turner Scratch foursomes cup for their gross 68 in the medal that ran concurrently.

64 ladies played in the Club's Guest Day with a shotgun start, they played in fours with the best two scores counting. It was the in-form Catherine Chick and Haley Joel with their guests Anne Gates (Wheathill, Somerset) and Jennie Bowden (PlayGolf, Colchester) who cracked in 97 points to take first spot from the ladies' captain Jane Madge with guests Viv Dale and Phyllis Boddy (both Harwich and Dovercourt) and Gill Barke (Braintree) who collectively returned 87 points to secure second.

Nearest the pin for guests was held on the 8th and was won by Rosalie Skinner (Purdis Heath) and for members on the 16th Gill Crayson.

Dave Humberstone won his home, 4th round Essex Matchplay game, 4&2 against Harry Brown (Ballards Gore). Dave now progresses to the Q/Final stages.

Sunrise golf is not played often but with 5.30a.m. start it is understandable. Vying with the greenkeepers for the course it was Pat Kettle (18) who lead the way to breakfast with an impressive 38 points. Mike Sutton (8) was next in line with 37 points. Joint third with 36 points and ready for the full English were Mike Kettle (13) and Jason Nicholls (0).

The Clubs final match in the Curry Cup, away against Finn Valley, was a 12-6 loss, which means that it is unlikely they will qualify from the leagues to the semi-finals. The ladies' teams this year after a promising start are all in a similar position despite the Silver Trophy team having a 3&2 win over Boyce Hill last week.

Colchester's Vets entertained Frinton this week. Going down 6&2 did not dampen their spirits. With wins by Mike and Bernhard Hart along with John Champ and David Humberstone the team look forward to their next match with ever increasing optimism.
