SAM Sadler claimed his second trophy of the summer after winning Five Lakes Golf Club's Professionals Shield.

Sadler (22), on plus three, claimed victory in the Gents 18-hole bogey/par qualifying competition.

Good scoring was very difficult on the Links course, with easterly winds making their presence felt.

Paul Bowers (7) was runner-up on plus two, ahead of third-placed Pat McSweeney (13) who finished on level.

Roger Springall (12) came close with one under to finish fourth, just outside the main prizes.

A quartet of players - Alan Garnett, John Mayle, Bernie Sheldrake and Ian Kirkman - returned two under.

Birdie twos were recorded by Ron Dent on the long and tricky eighth hole, along with Pat McSweeney and Alan Garnett on the downhill tenth.
