The 6th post of this series is a cutting from the local Herald newspaper from the end of the 1988-89 Season - the first year that the Premier Division was formed!
As you can see there is a great picture of the inaugural Premier Division Champions, Wallingford A - Phil Hall (in waistcoat, naturally!), Colin Baker, Alan Bell, George Flynn, Bob Seares & Stu Mogford.
That year Oracle A won the First Division, Broadway A the Second, Oracle B the Third and Goring & Streatley Golf Club the Fourth.
Notable High Breaks were from Gerald Francombe (52) in Div 2 & a young Pom Merola (63) in Div 3. Gerald also won the Singles Title that year & young Stuart Mogford won the Under 23s.
There's even a mention of the Jim Pink Plate Final between AERE Police v Wantage D in which you will note the Wantage team contained an also very young Tim Williamson, now of Captain of Wantage B - well he does turn 50 this year!
With thanks to the aforementioned Phil Hall for providing the cutting.
Again, feel free to message me with any contributions of your own which you may have (photographs, newspaper cuttings, etc.) & I'll add them to the feeds.
