22nd August 2024 – NMGC Win The 2024 Derbyshire & Cheshire League in a Dramatic Sudden Death Playoff!!
The “Millers” first D&C League final for more than 35 years – on another miserable afternoon for golf and on a difficult Disley track. The Millers set off against firm favourites Tytherington with unbelievable support from Sam, Kirsty & Steve, the Management Committee and members.
The final score in the individual singles matches was 6-6, thus requiring a sudden death playoff involving the lowest handicap player from both teams. The Millers Jack Sidebottom, off 2 handicap, birdied the first playoff hole to give the Millers the win!!
A dramatic end to an incredible season for this newly formed, young but talented Millers D&C team, i.e. Jack Sidebottom, Elliott Brownsword, Ben Williams, James Ignotus, Steve Worrall, Barry Lawson, Sean Moore, Jason Warhurst , Paul Holland, Oli De Rosenwerth, Tony Hall and Mark Brooks, plus team captain Darryl Hall.
A remarkable achievement to all involved. Commiserations to a talented Tytherington team, but this was the Millers year!!
