Having won the opening alliance fixture of the season, Mark Campbell and Michael Scott from Crow Nest Park, took top honors at Meltham last Tuesday.
Scoring an excellent 44 points, with a superb front nine of 23, they won by just one shot from home pairing Leon Bolton and Richard Clark.
Setting off like a train, the pair from Crow Nest Park had accumulated twelve points after just four holes, thanks mainly to two gross birdies on the first two holes. That kind of scoring is hard to maintain but with further gross birdies, this more than made up for their three single pointers in the round.
Not to be outdone second place pairing Bolton and Clark also had 23 on the front nine and had it not been for their single pointer on the relatively easy par4 15th, they could have been walking away with top spot.
In the Pro-Am section West End professional Darren Arber and his partner Andrew Baxter claimed first position with an amazing 45 points, this won the Pro-Am competition by 6 points.
The pair from West End between them scored a gross level par 71 for their round, which left them nine under nett!! In fact, their back nine of 24 points was one the highest recorded in recent times during alliance events. In second place were Chris Hanson and Ian Clegg from Woodsome Hall with 39 points.
In what was an unusual time for an Alliance to be held at Meltham the weather was actually not too bad. The day was overcast but surprisingly warm with just some intermittent light drizzle. The course itself was in good condition but recent essential maintenance to the greens did mean they were not up to their usual standards.
The service and hospitality received at Meltham was excellent and many complimented the meal afterwards. The Alliance would also like to thank Meltham, and in particular Paul Davis for his efforts in helping to organise the day.
The next event is at Elland Golf Club on Tuesday 24th November where the entry field is already full with 8 pairs in reserve. The alliance then moves onto Hebden Bridge on Tuesday 8th December where the field is also filling up quickly.

Leading Scores.
The latest professional's order of merit will be published later this week which includes details about the new scoring system. The fixtures for the second half of the season will also be posted later this week.
Details about a 'new' competition, The Champion Club Trophy, will also be announced shortly. This will be played for an old Alliance trophy that has recently been handed back to the Alliance which can no longer be played for under the original rules so has been re-devised under current regulations.
