At the beginning of June, a yearly, national fire service competition called the Sheriff's Cup took place at Wynyard Golf Club in County Durham.
The team of four who qualified to represent Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, consisted of three retired firefighters (two of which are members of The Leatherhead Club), Steve Northeast, Jane Northeast and Glynn Morgan and one serving firefighter from Leatherhead Fire Station, Tom Evans.
Surrey have competed in the competition for many years against stiff opposition and have never been successful, until this year!
Day one was the pairs competition and Steve and Jane posted a 6 under par round and Glynn and Tom just one over par.
Day two was the singles competition and all four posted nett 70's, beating Staffordshire Fire Service by just one shot! The Sheriff's Cup was presented by the Sheriff of London for the first time back in 1960 and this year was the first time Surrey has won it in its 64 year history!
