A LUCKY golfer could drive away a Ford Fiesta car at Runcorn Linnets FC’s Millbank golf day.

The prize is on offer to the first golfer to fire a hole-in-one at the par-three 8th during the competition on July 31 sponsored by the club’s main sponsor Millbank Group, a Runcorn company offering world-class recruitment solutions across a wide range of industries.

There are also prizes for the winning, runner-up and third-placed teams plus cash prizes for aces at some other holes and prizes for nearest the pin on various greens.

The event for teams of four has so far attracted 15 confirmed entries ahead of this Sunday’s closing date with players from past and present joining corporate entrants and teams led by club officials and supporters.

Club manager, Joey Dunn will be joined by Linnets first teamers, striker Freddie Potter and goalkeeper Richie Mottram with Mottram’s dad Richie Snr completing the boss’s team.

Terry Murphy, successful national title-winning assistant manager of the original Linnets, Runcorn AFC in the early 1980s will also be teeing off while a couple of players from the former club’s 1990s Wembley appearances are also participating.

The tournament will generate important funds for the North West Counties League club, who are also organising a Golf Day raffle to be drawn at the presentation dinner in the Clifton Road clubhouse.
