Memories
On Saturday we challenged to you identify the What, Where, Who & When from an old photograph. We had one completely correct response and that came from Alan Crowther 12 out of 12.
One more entry that had a full house except for the year, and that came from Dennis Machin. Special mention to Alan Brown who named 7 of the 9 individuals and the venue correctly and was one year out on the date. Bill Blackburn does well again to correctly name the Conservative Merit competition as well as identifying 7 of the 9 individuals.
Nigel Midwood lifted the title that year and collected the £80 prize money on his home green by beating Derek Shaw 21-8 in the Final. Derek had done remarkably well to compete at this level after losing some fingers on his right hand after an accident at work. He converted to become a leftie and arguably improved his game by so doing.
The Answers: When: 1998 What: Conservative Merit Finals Day Where: Netherton Cons
Who: (left to right) John Dyson (Sponsor: Hills Supplies), Peter Read (Lockwood Con), Mel Hopley (Almondbury Con), Sean Metcalf (Moldgreen Con), Tony Young (Almondbury Con), Nigel Midwood (Netherton Con) Derek Shaw (Meltham), Donald Crowther (Almondbury Con) and Mark Shaw (Moldgreen Con).
