ROTHLEY PARK SENIOR MEN DELIGHTED TO REGAIN THE ‘OLDS’ TROPHY
ROTHLEY PARK GOLF CLUB was delighted to regain the Olds Trophy, an annual match played between Rothley Park and Birstall men’s seniors every year.
The trophy was presented by a Mr Olds in 1973 who had an association with both Rothley and Birstall golf clubs to be played annually by each club’s men’s senior teams.
Seniors Captain, Ken Earp, says It’s fair to say this is the most important men’s seniors match of the season against local rivals but always in the right spirt of friendship.
“After losing at Birstall last year we were determined to make home advantage pay with 5.5 to 2.5 trophy win. It now stands at 26 Birstall wins to 24 Rothley. The day finished with an enjoyable meal and presentation of the trophy by Birstall men’s senior’s captain Paddy Keating. “
