FOR what is believed to be for the first time in the Club's history Brean have won the top Division of the Avalon League. 

After finishing their fixtures last weekend, they had to wait on the result of the final game of the season between Stockwood Vale and Farrington Park at the Bristol venue on Saturday afternoon.

In early evening the news filtered through that Farrington had not achieved the result they needed to overhaul the Brean points total meaning that the Brean A team were Champions for 2023!

This now means the club have won 4 League titles in the past two seasons as for the second year running both teams topped their respective Divisions and for Brean to reach the top of the League pyramid in their 50th Anniversary year is fitting as they were one of the founding clubs of the original League back in the early nineties.

Well done to Dan Broom for his leading of the A team in 2023 and also to Steve Hill who led the B team to the Division Four title last weekend as well.

As is often the case with Scramble events nowadays a countback was required to decide the final placings in Brean's annual Seniors Pairs Open.

The weather was dry which has been unusual for 2023 but with the humid heat touching 30 degrees during play it called for a different use of umbrellas for the 38 pairs taking part!

Two pairs returned scores of nett 60 and it was down to the computer to determine the winners.

Getting the verdict with a better back nine was Leighton Jenkins and Chris Fairchild as they edged out their playing partners, and fellow Brean members, Ian Adams and Murray Parsons in what must have been a high quality fourball.
