Warwickshire Men v Ladies
30th April 2008 - North Warwickshire GC was the venue for the annual clash between the county men and ladies. Both Louis Meryon and Bev Belcher (Ladies Captain) expected a tough match with Louis fielding a strong side who had to give shots to the ladies in the foursomes format.
Following on from 2007
Purley Chase GC - Sunday 4th May 2008 - Midland Junior League - Match 1 vs Worcestershire. Warwickshire Juniors continued their unbeaten run from 2007, with a slightly more convincing than last year's (but still very narrow) victory over our ever present rivals Worcestershire by 8.5-6.5 points. The winning points took some getting!
8-0
2008 Four Counties Championship - Bristol & Clifton GC - Sat 19th and Sun 20th April. This Century, Warwickshire are now 8-0 in the annual round-robin competition between ourselves, Worcestershire, Staffordshire and Gloucestershire. It was an impressive feat to equal Gloucs record consecutive wins two years ago, then to establish a new benchmark. The team that stops our County will feel different to any that have gone before but in 2008 (a year with an '8' in it) the record went further, despite all the pressure.
Bardsley climbs to 11th
Peter McEvoy Trophy 2008 - Copt Heath Golf Club- Thursday 18th April - with a finishing 36 holes of 75 and 72, Rob Bardsley climbed three places to finish T11th in the 2008 McEvoy. It was a good performance, the best in recent years, by a Warwickshire Junior and could have been even better but for some bad luck.
2008 McEvoy Trophy
Wednesday 16th April 2008 - Copt Heath Golf Club - Our Boys Captain Rob Bardsley has made it through comfortably to the final 36 holes of this year's Peter McEvoy Trophy. Although not at his best, Rob managed his game well enough for a first round 73, then a 36 in the second nine holes, to be seven shots back from the lead held by Scottish Junior Sam Binning.
Expected Leaders - Plus Trails Scores
2008 Warwickshire Trials - Sunday 13th April - Olton GC - On handicap (both +3), Andy Sullivan and Matt Cryer should have been the favorites for this years Mens Trials, and they duly delivered with gross 68s for 37 points, to beat our Boys Captain Rob Bardsley and Ian Stranks by a shot (and a point).
