David’s Rocky road to first win

The annual Rocky 3 Reds Trophy held at the Clayton and Keymer Royal British Legion saw David Page in top form when he outwitted Gary Goodman in a black ball finale to write his name on the trophy for the first time.

There was much enthusiasm and interest in entering this year’s tournament, with Jenny Waterman leading the way to take on the lads.

She lost in a close encounter with Lawrence Cowley-Stein but was presented with an award for showing true spirit and supporting the annual event, which this year raised £38 that will be donated to the RBL poppy Appeal Fund.
