GOLF: Nick Dougherty and Trevor Foster inspired the Rest of Lancashire to a crushing victory over Southport Golf Association.

Foster, who plays at Accrington, bounced back to win his singles match 2 and 1 after he and partner Garry Boardman had lost their doubles match 3 and 2 earlier in the day. While England Boys star Dougherty, of Shaw Hill, won both his singles and doubles matches in comfort as the Red Rose side triumphed 14-3 overall.

Both Foster and Dougherty will be in action again at the weekend.

The Rest Of Lancashire take on Bolton GA at Hart Common on Saturday and the full Lancashire team meet Lancashire Ladies at Southport and Ainsdale Golf Club on Sunday.

Blackburn's Claire Blackshaw and Pleasington's Natalee Evans have both been included in the Lancashire Ladies squad.
