On Friday, 20th October, Bearsted CC held its annual Celebration Dinner and Dance at Bearsted Golf Club where our junior and senior awards for the season were presented.
As we heard on the night, 2017 was a tough season for most on the teams on the field, but it is of course important still, and in many cases more so, to celebrate the commitment and on field performances of our up and coming juniors and more seasoned senior pros!

Down to earth with a bump after picking up two senior playing awards – but well-done Ben!
