Binney takes honours at Tehidy

Russell Binney (St Austell) won the individual professional prize with a two-under-par 69, worth 38 stableford points, in the Cornwall Alliance meeting on a dry, cloudy day at Tehidy Park.

This brought a one-shot success over Grant Slater (Trevose) and former Challenge Tour player James Ruth (China Fleet) who was playing in his first Alliance meeting. Richard O'Hanlon (St Kew) was fourth on level par while Andy Michael (China Fleet) and Max Billingsley (St Kew) shared fifth on 72.

Truro professional Scott Richards and amateur Will Sumner (Carlyon Bay) scored 45 points to win the pairs with the St Austell amateur pairing of Andy Allum and Paul Mellor two behind on a day that attracted 72 players.
