Davies and Tate pulls out of Sussex golf

DAVIES & Tate has pulled out of its sponsorship of the Sussex Inter-Club Matchplay championship, which has been a highlight of the county golf season since 1990.

In that time, the number of participating clubs more than doubled from 26 to 56. Run for six months every season, the championship had expanded to attract almost every club in the county.

Now, after 17 years, an end has been called and Phil Davies of D&T said with a heavy heart: "We did not want to withdraw from the tournament. But, having built it up, another local company was prepared to pay substantially more to sponsor it.

"I say this regretfully and I wish the tournament a huge success in the future."
