Gloucestershire Junior Team Championships at Forest Hills Golf Club - Sunday 22nd April 2011

The 2011 Junior Team Championship for boys & Girls was held on the Forest Hills Links at Coleford in the Forest of Dean, on a glorious Spring day and a golf course that was in magnificent condition.

Once again there was a full entry of 32 teams from all over the county and 96 eager youngsters waiting to test their skills.

The prize for the winners is a trip to Woodhall Spa on 20/21 August (the home of amateur golf in England) to represent Gloucestershire against the 34 other English Counties over 36 holes over two days. The winner of that event goes on to represent England at the European Junior Team Championships in Southern Europe later in the year.

The format is the best two stablford points score out of the 3 team members in each round of the two x 18 (36 hole) championship. A very tough task for these young golfers.

The first round was a close fought affair with The Kendleshire GC 1  (79 pts), Forest Hills 1 (79 pts), Cotswold Edge (76 pts) & Forest Hills 2 (76 pts). South Herefordshire were very close with 75 points.

Kendleshire 1 were the first home returning 73 points in the afternoon round setting the benchmark at 151, closely followed by Minchinhampton 1 who totalled a fabulous 82 points in the afternoon round going into the leading position on 153. The news filtered out to the Forest Hills teams who knew what they had to do. Ryan Burris in the Forest Hills 2 team scored a fantastic 44 points to help his team pick up 79 points & take the lead on 154. Forest Hills 1 were now under great pressure to finish well & young county junior James Dobbs put together the round of his life, finishing with 44 points to also record a 79 points total and take the title of Gloucestershire Junior Champion Club with 158 points on the day. His team mates, Capt Jamie Dick & Jordan Merry, were delighted with his performance, applauding him in to the clubhouse in recognition of his great performance.

Now the Forest Hills Team go on tho Woodhall Spa in August to see if they can beat the best of the Junior Teams in England. The County will be sending President Bill Hill to support the boys in their quest.

The individual ceded prizes went to Laura Whittard of Minchinhampton Old GC with a fantastic score of 44 & 40 = 84 points.

The best ceded morning round was won by Rory Gunning of Ross-on-Wye GC with 40 points.

The best ceded afternoon round was won by Rory Moss of Broadway GC with 42 points.

All in all a great day watched by many supporters from the home club & the juniors own clubs.
