THE early birdies had the best of it as a record field fought for the right to be crowned Thorpe Wood Ladies Open champion. With rain affecting the later stages of Thursday's annual showpiece, early tee-off times were at a premium as clear skies prevailed in the morning before downpours struck the afternoon stragglers to make going more difficult for the late starters. So after 18 solid holes it was a perfectly dry Jane Ross of Elton Furze who took the Division One title with a score of 38 stableford points. Considering Ross (by her own admission) has not been in the best of touch lately, her win came as something of a surprise but she was not the only player to turn round recent poor form to record success on the lengthy parkland track. In Division Two another player who has been struggling with her game of late, Ursula Morris of Northampton Golf Club, hit sparkling form to claim the title with a solid return of 39 points. And Bourn member Mary McDonald took the Division Three honours with a cracking return of 42 points - 25 of which were gleaned on the back nine. A raffle was held during the day with £400 being raised for Diabetes UK. PETERBOROUGH Milton hope to reign in Spain after cruising through the latest round of the Mail On Sunday Golf Classic. Playing against Norfolk side Middleton Hall, the Milton team of Neil Presto, Aide Firman, Richard Cole, Chris White, Martin Humphries, Tom Burgh and Jamie Wilson barely broke sweat in gaining passage to the next stage. An impressive 3.5-1.5 win ensured Presto and his team are now just four matches away from making it through to the November final at El Rompido Golf Club in Spain. Presto said: "It was a good effort and we seem to be doing very well in this competition. But there is still some way to go yet. We still have a few more rounds left to go but there is no reason to think that we cannot make it. was lucky enough to be able to play in the finals of this competition 10 years ago so I am desperate to repeat the feat if I can." More than 3000 teams this year entered the competition which is played in a five-man team singles format. Milton will face Lincolnhsire side Canwick Park in the next round in June. PETERBOROUGH Milton's Georgina Dunn reached the semi-finals of the Northamptonshire County Women's Championships before coming unstuck against last year's champion Kelly Hanwell. Former champion Dunn beat leading strokeplay qualifier Roseann Youngman of Wellingborough 3 and 2 in the quarter-final at Kingsthorpe before losing out in the last four. Clubmate Alex Banham also performed well to reach the quarter- final knockout stages where she was also beaten by Hanwell. YOUNG talent dominated the leaderboard at the annual strokeplay championship at Greetham Valley. Two of the top four places were taken by members of the junior section with 14-year-old Steven Graham shooting a dazzling net 64 from his 14 handicap to take top honours. And while second spot was taken by Harpal Samra on 66 with Phillip Thompson in third, another junior, Jordan Burdall, took fourth spot on countback with a 67. Five-handicapper Simon Welsh shot a hole-in-one at the 12th hole. In the ladies competition the quality of play was just as high with Sue Findlay taking the title with a net 70 from Nicola Toon and Marion Clarke who both carded 71s. COLD and wet weather greeted competitors in the annual Ladies Invitational at Oundle and conditions were tough for the four-ball betterball competition. But county vice-captain Pat Silburn of Oundle and her partner, Peterborough Milton's Ros Cuthbert, battled through the rain to record a final score of 38 points and take victory.
