GOLF NEWS - The County Team Championships and lots more |
 |
|
This week sees the Centenary Mens Matchplay Championship take place at Copt Heath, with one of the strongest all round fields in its recent history as the draw includes nearly all the best of the younger Warwickshire golfers. The eight players involved qualified from the Centenary Warwickshire Amateur as did Maxstoke Park GC (pictured) for the English Club Championship - the full results of teams from the Amateur is available plus a poster for club notice boards on last week's Midland League matches. |

Our Young side comes unstuck |
 |
|
Sunday 4th June - Notts GC - Midland League 1st team match vs Notts. Having shared the morning foursomes, our young side faced the daunting prospect of taking on a Notts side in the singles which contained players who all knew the idiosyncrasies of one of the most difficult inland championship courses - one which will host the 2007 Walker Cup. The US Amateur team would need to come over in April next year to practise to beat a strong Notts team so how did we do?

| The Midland Schools Boys title AND the Midland Schools Boys Team titles returned to our County courtesy of Rory Kirwan and the team he captained of Ben Bernamont, Steve Mumford and Sam Dodds. The scoring, as you will read, was high (to say the least) - but there were specific reasons for that. There were some highlights though -

One shot from glory |
| Our superb Junior team, after the inspiration of coming so close at last years County Championships finals, were tantalisingly close to a return to the premier team competition for Juniors in England. It all came down to a hatful of chances, spread over the whole team of six, for a crucial putt to drop as we lost by just once shot to the 2004 qualifiers Shropshire & Herefordshire!
