It ended up being a good 2022 season for Trench.
They survived in the League’s top flight, with a fine home win over St Georges A on the last night of fixtures, and then enjoyed a highly successful re-launch of the Trench Open Mixed Doubles.
Before all that, the club’s green with its super surface – cared for by long serving secretary David Evans – was voted the tops in the Telford area.
And that ended up earning Trench £100 as the runners-up to Cleobury Mortimer in the first Shropshire Best Kept Green promotion, sponsored by Dennis UK-Sisis.
The club was represented by Colin Lane at the formal presentation at Cleobury in late September, when Roger Moore, sales and marketing manager of Dennis UK, handed over the awards.
“Hopefully the advice from Alan Lewis (the judge who visited all eight finalists), has been invaluable to all the green keepers,” said couinty chairman Phil Scott.
“Dennis UK will be doing a greenkeeping seminar early next year and I would advise as many of them as possible to attend the day for talks, demonstrations and help.”
Any club interested in hosting next year’s seminar, sponsored by Dennis UK and to include a lunch, is urged to contact Phil for full details.
