TSB Trophy (Juniors vs Seniors) October 29 2025

 

The Juniors and Seniors after the match with William Gilbert holding the TSB Trophy


The long-standing tradition of the Juniors and Seniors competing for the TSB Trophy continued on a grey and drizzly day on John O'Gaunt.
The Trophy goes back 43 years and the Juniors are certainly ahead overall by quite some margin, winning last year 3½/2½.
But on Wednesday the Seniors managed to peg back their young rivals to a draw - 2½/2½.
So, as the current holders, a draw was enough to retain the trophy for another year.
As is tradition the Seniors bought their Junior playing partners lunch after the match.
The standout performance came from Ollie Newman who shot level par - his best ever round.
Results in detail:
Albert Watts and Alex Payne vs David Barlow and Michael Newstead: Junior win 3&2
Harry Burgess and Freya Pallett vs Andy Brown and Trevor Darrington: Match halved
Daniel Durkin and Ollie Newman vs Algy Grimes and Bill Walker: Junior win 4&3
Jayden Slender and Chloe Church vs Dave Wood and Graham Gadsden: Senior win 2&1
William Gilbert and Harry Pope vs Tony Lloyd and Chris Walker: Senior win 3&2
