JANE Brackenbury and Renee Wheeler overcame very wet conditions to win the West Berks round of the Peugeot LGU Coronation Foursomes with 34 points and will have to wait to see if their card is good enough to qualify for the Southern regional round.

Tina Clayton and Ann Davies were second and Heather Green and Shelagh Forder third.

Georgie and Barrie Seaman won the Husbands and Wives trophy with 37 points, Jacqueline and Brian Davis second with 35 and Shelagh and Barry Lancaster third on 31.

Meanwhile, the seniors halved, 3-3, a very closely fought match at home to Caversham Heath.

A QUEST to win Europe’s biggest pro-am begins for Keith Berry and his Donnington Grove PGA Professional Tom Fleming when they tee up in a forthcoming Lombard Trophy regional final at Little Aston Golf Club on June 7, one of 14 regional finals being staged across the UK.

They will be up against 64 other clubs with the winning club going through to compete in the 36-hole final at Portugal’s luxurious Pestana Vila Sol Golf & Hotel resort on the Algarve in September.

Berry landed a chance to have a tilt at qualifying for the grand final when he won his club qualifying competition with a nett score of 71.

Ian Isaac, head of Lombard, added: “Following the success of the Lombard Trophy in previous years, we’re delighted to once again be working with the PGA to offer the opportunity for professional and amateur golfers to play in this very exciting competition.

“This year’s event will culminate at Vila Sol, one of the most prestigious courses in the Algarve.

“We’d like to welcome all the golfers taking part and wish everyone the best of luck.”

The tournament attracts entries from more than 700 clubs across Great Britain and Ireland. Lombard originally sponsored the tournament from 1995 to 2006 before returning as headline sponsor in 2013.

Berry, is a 50-year-old business owner from Newbury. He has been playing golf for 20 years and plays off a handicap of 11.

Fleming, 34, has been a professional at Donnington Grove for 12 months.
