JUNIORS ARE COUNTY CHAMPS

Sheffield secured the Yorkshire District Junior League title for the fourth time in five years today when they defeated Harrogate 27-9 at Ripon.

But it was not plain sailing for the South Yorkshire boys as they endured a nip and tuck afternoon with many matches going to the wire.

Sheffield got off to a good start securing the foursomes 10-2 with notable 6&5 victories by Matty Freeman and Jack Wilson, and Harrison Naylor and Lewis Brannagan.

In a hard fought afternoon single’s session Brandon Perry caught the eye with a 4&3 victory but most matches went down the 18th.

Sheffield Union President Dennis Clarke said: “ It has been a fantastic day’s golf. We were chased all the way home by Harrogate and the result does not reflect the overall performances by both sides.  Seven matches went down the last with Sheffield winning four and managing three halves.

“ But what a year for our boys. I’m happy for the squad and I must congratulate our Junior Manager Dave Hall whose selection been spot on all year.”
