A total of 9 ladies took to the course at Shanklin and Sandown Golf Club Club on Sunday 23rd June to contest the Royal Isle of Wight Medal. The Royal Isle of Wight Medal is played annually by the ladies of the East Wight-based club who have won a medal competition throughout the preceding year. The medal dates from 1882 and was gifted to Shanklin & Sandown together with other memorabilia when the Royal Isle of Wight Golf Club closed in 1961. Taking home the coveted prize was Connie Huntington with a fabulous nett 68, the runner-up was Lucy Burke, nett 73 and, taking 3rd place, was Lorrie Hawkins, nett 74.

Just another day on idiot island.
What is going on? Do these people know how to drive, obviously not?
Same old, same old.
Until something is FINALLY done about the speeding on the island
nothing will change
20mph is plenty
Time you receive treatment. There is a hardcore who ignore any speed limits.
Be gone with you little man, you are no more than a monotonous louse!
Have some empathy, people are seriously hurt.
There are 20mph areas on the mainland, kindly move your wretched carcass to one.
Hope that all involved make a full recovery.
How awful fo all involved. Hope they will all be OK !!
Selfishness from the old fart behind the wheel
The drivers were in their 30s you sick nasty little lump of excrement..
Let me guess it’s a elderly driver as always who should not be behind a wheel
Before clicking the red arrow
IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU
it makes me sick that an Head on Crash happens,
it can only happen by another vehicle being on the
Wrong side of the road
THIS SHOULD NOT BE
stick to your own side of the road, don’t tell me more
Speeding, why can’t people wait!
It now puts a strain on the Emergency Services, overwhelms the NHS
and causes UNNECESSARY Road delays for other motorists.
It’s about time the authorities placed
Islandwide speed Camera’s / ANPR and CCTV
Someone is too blame for this accident
I pray everyone is ok
Slow down F.F.S, think before overtaking
