FRILFORD Heath made it third time lucky when they won the prestigious Brockenhurst Stag with a 5½-3½ victory over Ferndown.

After two losing finals in this competition involving 16 of the best scratch teams in the South of England, Frilford won it for the first time.

They progressed to the final, which involved four foursomes and eight singles matches at Brockenhurst Manor by beating High Post, West Hill and Blackmoor.

They won the foursomes 2½-1½ thanks to wins from Ashley Walton and Dean Newbold and Jamie Burns and Russell Morbey.

They were always in control of the afternoon singles.

Morbey completed a remarkable eighth win out of eight in the competition, while other victories came from Walton, Newbold, Harry Richardson and Matt Green sealed a historic victory.
