OTLEY Golf Club's George Muscroft and Liam Shaw were drawn against each other in the semi-final of the Harrogate Union Matchplay Championship.

A closely-fought affair resulted in George progressing to the final where he continued an extremely successful season for both himself and Otley.

He finished one up against Jason Taylor from Knaresborough to win one of the most prestigious competitions in the Union calendar.

Highlights of another busy weekend for members of Otley included Jeff Higgins’ Rabbits Chairman’s Day that was played in conjunction with the August Medal.

Both competitions attracted a good number of entries and the scoring was good throughout the three divisions.

The best score belonged to Mark Hughes, whose nett 65 in the third division was enough to pip a revitalised Ronnie Oxtoby by a shot.

Jeff presented prizes to the overall winner, the two Best Rabbits, R Oxtoby and J Grimmitt and the two best Associates, A Stacey and M Warren.

Medal results, Div 1: D Pickles (9) 69, Mike Warren (11) 69, T Rockett (11) 70; Div 2: J Grimmitt (16) 68, A Stacey (14) 69, S Hollidge (15) 70; Div 3: M Hughes (18) 65, R Oxtoby (20) 66, T Howson (19) 72.
