Elite pair shoot 68 gross

LATE starters Rob Plampton and Gary Le Page edged out the elite pairing of Bobby Eggo and Aimee Ponte to win the first big open golf event of the season at L'Ancresse on Saturday.

Playing off a combined 12 handicap they scored 17 points on the front nine and a whopping 22 on the inward half to finish on the 39 mark for overall victory by one.

The winners scored on every hole bar the fifth, but their back nine 37 gross brought them a glut of points, including a four-pointer for a net eagle at the 15th.

Eggo and Ponte were playing off plus one in the pre-lunch session.
