Runcorn Linnets Golf Day
Fri 24th July 2015 | Runcorn Linnets | By Ian Templeman
A lucky golfer could drive away a Ford Fiesta car at Runcorn Linnets FC’s Millbank Golf Day on Friday July 31st.
The prize is on offer to the first golfer to fire a hole-in-one at the par-three 8th during the competition sponsored by the club’s main sponsor Millbank Group.
There are also great prizes for the winning, runner-up and third-placed teams plus attractive cash prizes for aces at some other holes and prizes for nearest the pin on various greens.
The event for teams of four has so far attracted 15 confirmed entries ahead of this Sunday’s closing date, with players from past and present joining corporate entrants and teams led by club officials and supporters.
Club manager, Joey Dunn will be joined by Linnets first teamers, striker Freddie Potter and goalkeeper Richie Mottram with Mottram’s dad Richie Snr (equally well known at the Millbank Linnets Stadium and Runcorn GC) completing the boss’s team.
Terry Murphy, successful national title-winning assistant manager of the original Linnets, Runcorn AFC in the early 1980s will also be teeing off while a couple of players from the former club’s 1990s Wembley appearances are also participating.
The tournament will generate important funds for the club, who are also organising a Golf Day raffle to be drawn at the presentation dinner in the Clifton Road clubhouse.
Organised by club vice-chairman Hedley Edwards, co vice-president Stuart White and Trust members Kel Hoose and Ste Bignall, the competition has attracted valued interest from a number of businesses in Runcorn, Merseyside and the North West.
Millbank, title sponsor of the event, is celebrating its 35th anniversary in 2015 and has been the club’s main sponsor since the Linnets returned to Runcorn five years ago to make their home at The Millbank Linnets Stadium in Murdishaw.
Derek Greenwood, chairman of Runcorn Linnets, said: "Millbank's support as main club sponsors since we returned to the town in 2010 to play at The Millbank Linnets Stadium has been nothing short of fantastic.
"Their backing has helped us to grow and develop as a club with a successful first team, a fast-emerging ladies team and thriving junior section putting us right at the heart of the community.
"We are delighted that they are sponsoring our Golf Day and look forward to an excellent day's golf and what I am certain from past experience will be superb post-match hospitality from Runcorn Golf Club at the 19th hole.
"We also appreciate the involvement of club officials, management, players from past and present and fans through organisation, volunteering and playing.
“Our thanks go to all those companies and individuals who are contributing through playing or sponsorship - many of the firms involved are long-time supporters of the club and their backing is, as ever, most welcome."
The entry fee of £200 per team of four includes coffee and light lunch on arrival and a two-course evening meal. For further information or to enter the competition, visit Contact Us at www.runcornlinnetsfc.co.uk
