Nick Uttley claimed his 12th club championship title at Nelson Golf Club when he beat Craig Fort 4&3 in the final.

It is now 25 years since the former Lancashire ace and 2002 Harold Ryden Trophy champion won his first title and in the years since, he and Fort have claimed 17 in all.

Uttley reached the final by beating Ryan Curwen in the quarter-finals and Charlie Ellis in the last four while Fort progressed following wins against Ray Waterworth and Curtis Clarkin.

The top eight qualified after 36 holes of strokeplay which saw Uttley land the Briercliffe Trophy after a 36-hole gross total of 137.
