Devon Schools Event a roaring success

Devon Schools Event SCORES

Report form Jared Spencer (Organiser)

Two years ago we started with two teams of which Paignton Community Sports College won through to the final at Woodhall Spa. Last year we had 67 entries at Staddon Heights where South Dartmoor qualified through to the National final at Woodhall Spa and 8 boys and 4 girls qualified through to the South West regional final at Staddon Heights. Molly Haslam won outright the girls competition and Harry Mayers qualified through to the National final.

This year we had 99 entries and 21 on reserve list. We played at Churston and although weather was atrocious, a good day was had by all. Results sheet above. Thanks to Craig Townsend of the Devon Golf Partnership and Exeter University Golf Programme which kindly donated towards the trophies for the winners. Thanks also to the Devon County Golf Union and Devon County Ladies Golf Association for their donations towards transport for last year's winners.

 It was great to see such a well behaved, polite set of youngsters doing their best to represent their schools and their clubs and also to see the teachers all communicating to get together more often. Our thanks of course go to Churston for giving us courtesy of the course and Steph Francis' invaluable help in the organisation. Thanks to everyone else who contributed and helped on the day.

Regards

Jared Spencer
