Howley Hall’s James Appleyard and Miles Foster won the Supreme title last year when Appleyard birdied the last hole at Ganton to enable them to get the better of Lindrick pairing, Yorkshire county player Bailey Gill and his playing partner Julian Maturi.

Appleyard and Foster have been in the renowned Spanish resort of La Manga in the week heading into the tournament for some warm-weather preparation.

Both are single figure players – Appleyard off two and Foster off five – and are intent on making it back-to-back triumphs.
