Huddersfield also had to be content with second spot in the net team category, victory going to Halifax Bradley Hall thanks to Sheldon Mcfadzean (85-20-65), Thomas Pratt (90-20-70) and Joe Lowson (82-4-78) after the sides tied on 135.

Crow Nest Park will go forward to play in the county qualifying competition for the EGU Junior Champion Club tournament.

Huddersfield GC's Sue Johnson Bowl was won with an excellent total of 86pts by Nigel Myers, David Ramsbottom, Jackie Elam and Graham Harrison.

But it was only good enough to gave them victory by a single point from runners-up Richard Bates, 2015 captain Nick Ledgard, John Pasicznyk and Marcus Headley, who edged Martine Lunn, Maxine Rowlands, Paul Green and Eric Lord into third on count back.
