The Union's second annual 6-18 handicap competition has been won by Silkstone Golf Club. The eight-man team, comprised of Simon Bramall, Martin Hoole, Mick Spink, David Ward, Richard Cadwallader, Paul Knights, Ted Lockwood and Vernon Smith scored a combined 143 points in the finals staged at Rotherham Golf Club. Runner-up was Tankersley Park with a score of 137. Unfortunately loss of light led to the scores being judged over 17 holes.

Winners: Silkstone GC
There were some outstanding performances in the finals competed by the five zone winners – Silkstone, Tankersley Park, Sitwell Park, Bondhay and Phoenix.
The 6-18 handicap competition was introduced last season to give mid handicappers a Sheffield Union event to enter. It has proved a great success, with more team entering in 2015.
