In a repeat of last years Gents’ Championship Final, Steven Kirk reversed the fortunes in a very tight contest against the reigning Champion, Malcolm Weir. It was closely contested until Steven took the jack into the ditch for two shots and followed up at the next end with three shots to win the trophy that he last held in 2019. Afterwards we all enjoyed the traditional annual BBQ with Guy Lloyd Jones as the master chef.
