HOLDERS Glynn and Simon Cookson, from Wharton Cons, are one of 16 duos that will contest next Tuesday’s intermediate round.

The father and son tandem, who will be on the green at Cuddington, has taken home the title three times.

Former champions Alan and Thomas Vickers (Wharton Cons), winners in 2009 and again the following year, and Ian Howell and Steve Morrey (Castle Private) have reached the second stage too.
