Adur League’s final evening taking place at Southwick using both greens on Friday, August 23. Well done to Colin Burton taking over from Vic Parsons this season, doing an excellent job, and it is good to see he will be continuing in 2025.

Congratulations to Southwick Park who have held top position since game two this season, with Southwick constantly chasing over the remaining four nights.

Lancing and Shoreham were vying for third place and could have gone either way this evening. Lancing was successful scoring 27 against Shoreham 26 points. Colin presented the winning Shield to Denis Miles representing Southwick Park.
