THERE was an all-London Beach final in the Bulmers Pairs championship this year which was played at Elfordleigh Golf Hotel in Plymouth.

On a hot day the two pairing went head to head with another tie break needed to decide the trophy.

Youngsters Shane Stolworthy and Connor Roles emerged victorious in the play-off against defending champions Rob Sims and Brian Chipperfield.

The previous day it was Sims (h8) and Chipperfield (h12) who had emerged on top on the 19th in their semi-final against the London Beach duo Alan and Paul Brewer.

In the other semi-final Stolworthy (h5) and Roles (h18) saw off the Sene Valley/Hythe Imperial duo Paul Warburton (h22) and Phil Taylor (h9) finishing two holes up on the final green.

In all 96 pairings started the competition back in May. The championships was sponsored by Scottish Courage Breweries, London Beach Golf Hotel, Elfordleigh Golf Hotel and Kenhire Vehicle Hire.
