DEANE Boys clinched the BGA John and Brenda Salt Trophy at Bolton Golf Club last Sunday for the second year in a row.

The four Deane youngsters, who included last year’s winners Isaac Randle and Jack Sleigh, took the honours with a grand total of 108 stableford points, being the best three scores to count, with Randle taking the overall winner’s prize with 38 points.

The Deane team finished with Isaac Randle (38) Liam Grimwood (36) and Callum Foster (34) with their fourth team-mate Jack Sleigh with 28 points.

Deane outstripped second-placed Westhoughton who amassed a 99 points total on a card play-off over third-placed Bolton who also recorded a 99.

Ten club teams entered from the possible 14 with the scores Deane 108, Westhoughton 99, Bolton 99, Dunscar 98, Old Links 97, Turton 95, Regent Park 94, Chorley 91, Harwood 89, and Hindley Hall, who could only field two players, 61.

Greg Salt, past Dunscar Captain and son of Brenda and John Salt, presented the prizes.

He said: “I am so pleased that the Salt Trophy has been another success story and produced some excellent scores. I know my parents would be proud of their special competition which was part of their considerable work they put into junior golf for many years.”
