compiled by Tony Kelly IT was a case of keeping it in the family after Judy Jones won the St Leonard's Hospice annual golf tournament at Fulford on a record-breaking golf financial day for the charity.

Last year husband Peter won the trophy with 47 stableford points, the highlight being a net albatross two at the sixth where he holed his third shot on the longest par five hole on the course.

Judy Jones, who plays off 18, became only the second woman to win the Peter Langron Trophy in the 19-year history of the tournament, the previous one being her sister Margaret Burton in 1995.

They are members of the well-known Miller golfing family which has also produced John Miller, brother of Judy and Margaret, and John's sons Kevin and Jamie.Included in Judy's 41 points were a net one eagle at the short tenth and a net two eagle at the par four 16th.

Judy Jones finished one point ahead of Ian Leedham (Easingwold), whose 40 points earned him the first division (handicaps scratch to 13) first prize, just ahead of Fulford's Bill Duston.

Chris Fowler (Teddington) who has just moved to the York area, won the second division (14-20 handicap) with 39 points.

There was a tremendous battle for the team prize which eventually went to Jim Clancey (Fulford), Steve Tempest (Fixby) and John Frame (Pike Hills) who totalled 50 points.

They won on a countback over the inward half from David Withey (Fulford), Tony Grayson (Lindrick) and Alex Upton (Selby).
