Stillington 3 are this year’s Riley Cup champions, overcoming a strong Selby 1/2 team in the final at Clifton Park.

Stillington are a perfect blend of youth and experience, and it was the older element which got them off to the best possible start with Mark Brogan winning a tight tussle with Alastair Rainier. The higher-ranked Selby team evened things up with a victory from Luke Murphy, but their fortunes didn’t improve from then on. Phil Theobold, Tom Howell and Callum Andrew were all able to take a game off their more illustrious opponents.

Selby finished 30 ahead, but that was well below the handicap of 65. Triumphant captain Duncan Cook is shown with his team below.

The individual scores were:

1. Simon O’Neill v Phil Theobold 15/11 15/10 11/15
2. Mal Holmes v Tom Howell 15/11 9/15 15/7
3. Mark Love v Callum Andrew 15/6 11/15 15/13
4. Luke Murphy v Duncan Cook 15/5 15/12 15/8
5. Alastair Rainier v Mark Brogan 11/15 12/15 14/5
