COUNTY JUNIORS
SURREY U14S
WINNERS A
fter the league was cancelled last year and the U14s lost to Kent the year before, Surrey were all looking forward to the opportunity to win back the prestigious league trophy. This year the format has been changed and the final is now a triple match play event. The other finalists were Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire who were winners of their respect leagues. The final was held at Dulwich and Sydenham golf club, a great course for the boys and a wonderful London skyline as the back drop. Surrey had their usual practice day on the Saturday with Ben Clayton going through a full course prep session with the boys. In the match this really made a massive difference! The result was incredibly close. Surrey and Hertfordshire tied at 5 points each,
Surrey U14s win the SEG league final by narrowest of margins. so a countback of matches won against Bedfordshire was required. Hertfordshire won 9 points and Surrey won 9.5 points so Surrey won by half a point! Some great individual results on the day and quality golf but a special mention to Luke Jones who was one down with one to play against Bedfordshire. He managed to half his match by winning the 18th hole
and therefore our winning margin of half a point. This really highlights the importance of never giving up in matches and battling to the very end! Congratulations to the U14s for the overall win, their hard work and success this year, and to their manager Marc Prince and coaches Ben Clayton and Sam Truman who helped them finish 2021 unbeaten!
