Under 14's Vs. Cornwall

This was our first match playing for the Jack Roberts trophy which involves Devon Dorset Cornwall and ourselves; we play six in a team for these four matches but eight against the other 3 remaining Counties.    

First pair out were Tom Sloman (Captain) and Jamie Tompkins who had quite a battle with Cornwall pairing Steve Waddell and Sam Church but Tom & Jamie triumphed on the 18^th. Calum Hannay and Jamie Li also had a closely fought match against Harry Hall and Edward Janes but eventually finished all square.  The final pairings of Charlie Carpenter and George Abbott had another tough time against Jordan Phillips and Howard Yeates but finally won on the last.

The afternoon proved very successful with our boys winning four out of the six singles making a very impressive 6 ½ - 2 ½  win especially with Cornwall having such a strong team this year.

One of the regular Under 14 players,  11 year old Will Warman played in the Under 16 match and not only won his foursomes match paired with Liam Copp but he also won his singles match against a 7 handicapper 3&2 a terrific effort for someone so young against an under 16.

The South West Counties Golf Association (SWCGA) held their annual U16 / U14 Championship at Exeter Golf & Country Club on Sunday 30th June 2010.  On a beautiful day at Exeter the Somerset boys performed very well and finished second to the hot favourites Devon.  The team representing Somerset were:
