ONLY one day was lost to bad weather last week at Denbigh Golf Club with 111 players returning scores.

However, Mike Hughes - having hovered in the wings until now - produced a winning score of 37 points and moved into the top position with what looks like an unassailable margin.

He has a seven-point margin at the top of the winter league with only four weeks remaining.

The team positions produced another battle with two teams now on a total on 97 points and a third on 96.

Week 16: Winner, Mike Hughes 37pts. Silver: 1, Jake Jones 36; 2, Paul Smith 36. Bronze: 1, Gareth Jones 36; 2, Steve Craddock 35. Nearest the pin, Gareth O'Loughlin.
