The 2004 Boys Country 10s – would Warwickshire win?
In 2001, Warwickshire last qualified for the Country finals with a team boasting Juniors of the calibre of Rob Steele, John Wetton and the like. This year’s team was of equal possible status but with five scores to count from each of two rounds, and the best juniors in the Midlands to contend against, it would be a tough task. Would the ‘Fat Lady sing’ for our County?
The 2004 JoM - First full Results
If you click on 'Junior Order of Merit' (Left), you will see the first update of the JoM for 2004 and heading the table is Andy Sullivan from Purley Chase after a win at the Schools and Runner-up places in the Boys and Mens Trials. Only 15% of the JoM points for 2004 have been distributed so far, so Andy has a long way to go and lots more golf to play if he is going to claim the JoM title.
Warks Boys win – but its not so easy.
The scoreboard says Warwickshire 10.5, Worcestershire 4.5 but that was not how things looked with 9 holes to go in the afternoon singles. In defence of the Midland League Boys title, this was a great start and it was a fantastic finish by our Boys Team, captained by Mens Trials winner Ben Stafford.
Four times champions – the record in 2005?
Ben Stafford was 3 down and had four birdies in his next five holes – and was still 2 down. Sam Foster put 10 birdies and an eagle ‘on the board’ against his two Sunday opponents. There were over 25 ‘red numbers’ from Warwickshire Juniors just on Sunday afternoon as our County equalled the record of Gloucs from the 70’s.
Its a Warwickshire Win!
Warwickshire approached this final against the strong Nottinghamshire side with some trepidation due to the absence of three regular members of the team. Our strength in depth meant that replacements of a good calibre were available although Chris Dougill(Stoneleigh) was a last minute stand in without previous experience in the under 18 side.
