In a repeat of last year’s 2019/20 final, the Trump Dubai team defeated the team from Dubai Creek 5-3 after two days of intense play to win the 2020/21 Scratch Amateur League title.
The highlight of the opening day came from the Creeks Bayhan Lakdawala as he struck a rare albatross on hole 9 at the Trump course. However, home advantage and great support paid dividends with Trump taking a 3.5-0.5 lead into the second day.
As darkness fell at Dubai Creek it was all to play for with team captain Nick Slater and playing partner Zubair Firduis needing a half point to take the title and they dually delivered.
A concession on the 17th green was met with emotional scenes from the 30 plus Trump Supporters led by next season’s team captain Graeme Eglintine.
