Midland region English Junior County Championship qualifier - Wednesday 30th May - Oswestry GC - After holding the halfway lead, the Warwickshire Junior Team saw their chances of making it through to the English County finals disappear as three Counties swept past our players. Our team did not produce high scores. It was more that the other three teams were playing very good golf.

Monday 14th May - John Simpson, Warwickshire Boys Team Manager, has just announced the Warwickshire team for just over two weeks time, on Wednesday 30th May at Oswestry GC, when we take on the other 9 Midland Counties for the one place available in the English Boys Finals at Royal Cromer GC in early September. This is the team ...

Warwickshire Boys vs Worcestershire Boys - away at Blackwell GC - Sunday 6th April. After the 7-1 win over Worcs in the 4 Counties a couple of weeks ago, their Boys team had a big incentive to put a huge dent in the Warwickshire Boys hopes for the Midland League and to start their own season with a win. This match was close, very close, but Chris Freeman (playing in his first U18s Boys match) played the crucial golf that gave us the win.

Broughton Park - Saturday 24th March - MGU Midland U14s - In this inaugural team competition, each of the Midland Counties sent a team of six U14s, each to play 36 holes over the tough par three course at Broughton (holes averaged nearly 200 yards in length) with five scores from each 18 to count towards the final totals.

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:

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 -
