A SCRATCH team from Burghill Valley Golf Club will bid to defend their SHUGC Hargrove Trophy.

Captain Kris Jones, Ed Morley, Peta Lockett, Ricardo Lloyd, Matt Harrison and Elliott Buck will compete against Shrewsbury in two matches, with the first taking place at Burghill on Sunday.

Cameron Probert, Gareth Davies and Phil Harrison have also competed for Burghill during this year's competition, with the club winning the trophy for the first team in 2017.

"It's been another great year for the scratch team at Burghill Valley and its great to start putting Herefordshire on the map again for golf," said Jones.

"Both Leominster and Kington had a great run in this year's competition and it shows that scratch golf in the county is bucking the trend.

"To lift the trophy last year and make history was a great feeling and the guys have done a great job in giving us a chance of keeping the trophy at Burghill."
