They returned trophy-less but content after another finely organised event.

On Wednesday, the Seniors team travelled the short distance to Louth Golf Club for their return derby.

As the greens sped up under the blistering eye of the summer sun, the home team used local knowledge to their advantage and putted much better to win the match with a thumping 7.5-0.5 victory.

Kenwick Park took a step closer to making it four titles on the trot as they progressed to the LUGC Bramley Finals.

Billy Wright performed under pressure to win his play-off hole with a birdie at the par three second, capitalising on Sam Done’s earlier 5&4 triumph against James Dair.

Sam, Billy and Olly Lea now head to Seacroft in August for the final challenge.
