South of England golf competition

The annual competition between the golf societies of Guildford, Reading, Southampton and Sussex and a team representing the former Institute of Portsmouth, took place recently.

The event was hosted by Portsmouth, who successfully defended the Hicks Bowl -- first played for in 1932 between Reading and Southampton -- during the afternoon. Runners-up were Southampton, who also successfully defended the South of England Cup during the morning competition.

A raffle raised £225 for The Insurance Charities. Next year's event will be hosted by the Sussex Institute.
