Hopeman Champions

Congratulations to Hopeman Golf Club on winning the Moray and Nairn Handicap League Trophy at their first attempt.

They opened their first season in the League with victory over the holders, Nairn Dunbar before losing their next game at Nairn. Thereafter though they beat the other three teams in succession with the pivotal result being their win at Moray, the first time any of the competing teams had managed to take anything from an away fixture this season.

It took the final game of the final match of the season to decide who would be runners-up with Elgin coming out on top and taking the honours over Nairn .

This year’s League for the first time saw all clubs enter the final month still with a realistic chance to win which augers well for the competition in future years!
