Now in its third year, Kevin, his family and friends hosted this social weekend and tournament for 40 players including many VETTS members., to raise funds for and awareness of prostate cancer.
Kev made an emotional speech about his own journey of the last four years from the low point of finding out how far the cancer had spread, to the more recent high point of receiving the best news about his recovery - which even surprised the doctors.
He concluded with a message about the importance for men, including all our VETTS members, to have a simple blood test to check their PSA levels - it could save your life.
The event raised more than £1000, thanks to the generosity of players and the hard work of Kevin, his wife, Carole, his family and the BATTS 'boys', Cliff Carder and Neil Brierley.
At the business end, the main event was won by Costas Papantoniou with Stephen Horsfield as runner up. In the plate final, Keith Adams beat Samson Bekele.
