Thomas had four birdies and was -1 on each nine to beat, on count-back, a resurgent Alex Bagnall who matched Jones' birdie count and nine's scoring. It had been a disappointing season for a twice finalist in the junior Order of Merit before a big win in a Junior Open last week.

At -1 - scoring 71 - were The Belfry's Ian Mackay and Copt Heath's Maxwell Martin. Mackay had the best birdie count all day (5) but was the only player of the four to play the front nine over par. Max, along with four others, warmed up very nicely for the Midland U16s Team Championship this Saturday at Broughton heath.

'I am very pleased with most of them - very much so', said Chairman of Junior Golf John Jewsbury.

'The Top five are all people you are looking to do well and with next years' u14s all going round at level part, the standard of play was excellent - considering the age of the field!
