Oh so near - a Profile of the 2006 Junior Team |
 |
|
This was a 'nearly' year. We started with a very promising group of players who lived up to our hopes by winning the Four Counties tournament for the sixth successive time with mostly excellent and occasionally spectacular golf. Two League wins did nothing to concern us but failing to qualify for the EGU finals by a single stroke (755 against 754) seemed to take the wind out of our sails and absences and injuries seemed to multiply as we lost two league games narrowly, the final one being 7 - 8 to Shropshire & Herefordshire, the match being to decide our group winners. The following players represented Warwickshire Boys:

|
After a difficult year in 2005 out of the haze came one Graham Hargreaves, a born organizer of men and Warwichshire to the core. It soon became very clear that no stone was going to be left unturned in this the County?s Centenary Year. Pre-season meetings took place at County Match Secretary Mark Smith?s home over the Winter and a lot of background work was put in culminating in a squad of around 36 being drawn up which consisted of the old guard, new kids on the block and those from the development squad.

2006 Midland League - Final matches - Sunday 8th October - Handsworth and Drayton GCs. Two wins would mean two trophies and at lunchtime, both our 1sts and 2nds were ahead, the 1sts by 3.5 to 1.5 and the 2nds by 5.5 to 0.5 points. Things were looking good. Could we win both Midland League titles |

From one Rob to another |
| Thursday 5th October 2006 - Today Rob Steele left behind his amateur days and became a professional. 'I think I have done all i can as an amateur, bar winning a major amateur title', said Rob after he finished his amateur golf with one of the grittiest halved matches he has ever played, on the last day of the 2006 County Finals. Just a week before, another Rob, Rob Bardsley, made this a double championship win very early in his young career.
