St Mellion pair storm to victory in Lord Lieutenants Trophy
St Mellion pair Mike Nancekivell and Peter Mehigan scored a fantastic 46 stableford points to win the Lord Lieutenants Trophy yesterday at Merlin.
With the course in excellent condition pairs from clubs across the county competed in a 4 ball better ball format with the proceeds raised from the competition being donated to the St John Ambulance Cornwall Division.
The early pace setters were local pairing of Dave Osgood and Mick Hargreaves with 44 points and although this score was equalled by Ben Treleaven & Daniel Sleeman (Falmouth) and Mark Austerfield & Ian Colwill (Merlin) they still held top slot on count back.
However this all changed when Nancekivell & Mehigan playing in the penultimate four ball posted the winning score.
At the presentation the trophy and commemorative tankards were presented to the winners and runners up by the CGU Immediate Past President Graham Binney and Commander Bob Sturland of the St John Ambulance was present to receive a donation of £750.00
