Scraptoft are the County inter-club mixed foursomes champions for the first time in more than 30 years.

They finished three-up against Whetstone in the 36-hole final at Birstall to lift the trophy they last won in 1981.

Whetstone were five-up on aggregate at the halfway stage of the final, but Scraptoft fought back to claim the title.

Whetstone's Martin Mayes (scratch) and Sue Barker received four shots in their clash against Ollie Booth (two) and Helen Lowe (two), and were two-up after the opening round.

Ian Hurst (four) and Theresa Oldman (15), who received three shots, were three-up against Scraptoft's Ian Hine (two) and Janet Goode (11).

In the second round, Booth and Lowe won the 12th to square, and then won three holes in a row.

Whetstone took the 16th before Scraptoft won the last to finish three-up at the end.

Whetstone lost four holes in succession from the third hole in the second match, and Hine and Goode took the lead when they won the ninth.

They also won the 10th to increase their advantage to two-up but Whetstone levelled at the 14th before losing the 16th.

Scraptoft won the final two holes for this match to end all square, leaving Scraptoft winners by three holes on aggregate.
