Here are the results for the Trowbridge players at Frome this year:

Tom and Tim both win a Somerset trophy.

In the Major Tim finished a clear point ahead of those in 2nd - 5th place. Mark's peaceful draw in the last round wins him £6.25 (whereas a victory would have earned £43).

Tom finished equal 2nd - 4th which should net him £71.66

Team Trowbridge finished on 10½ points, behind Bath on 12½.
Of course, our best four from the squad of six would have scored 13½.
