Wetherby, Woolley Park, Cookridge Hall and Howley Hall Golf Clubs were perfect hosts for the 2025 Finals of four Club Knockout competitions which started back in April.

Here are the results and presentation photographs of the winning teams:

Cookridge Hall took the early lead when Bailey Hird produced stunning golf to beat Joe Rushworth 4&3 and Nathan Ali beat Tom Murray by a similar score 4&3. The final match between Liam Bennett and Charlie Smith was halved.
Woolley Park came out on top in the Junior KO Final against Normanton. Alice Mottram lost to Harry Swaine 3&2 to put Woolley in front but Iona Mottram beat Jacob Collings 2&1 to level the match. This left Freddie Linfoot from Woolley on the 18th hole with Max Walton and the match all squire. Freddie holed his put for a birdie 2 to win the match .
The Nett KO Final at Cookridge Hall was won by Scarcroft Golf Club who beat a well supported Gotts Park team 4-2.

The Senior KO Final was won by Low Laithes after two extra holes had to be played to separate the teams. The Low Laithes Captain John Wigglesworth lost 5&4 to Dave Fitzpatrick to give Howley the early lead. However David Searby beat the Howley Captain Jerry Wood 3&1 to tie the match.
Steve Wheelhouse from Howley came from a 3 hole deficit to half his match on the 18th with John Lloyd and take the match into extra holes. Steve had to take a penalty drop from behind a tree on the 19th but found the green and holed his putt to take the match to the 20th. Although both players were on the green in two strokes Steve came up short with his putt and John finished the match with a birdie from 6 feet.
