DENTON Golf Club’s fine young team of
single handicap players enjoyed a great victory in the final of the Williams
BMW Junior Challenge in the traditional venue of Lowes Park Golf Club. The Denton team had to give their opponents Leyland a total of 62 shots and the final was taken to the wire of the last game before they emerged with a gripping 4-3 win. It was neck and neck all the way as Leyland took the first match as Louis Wright was one up against John Livingston. Vincent Shanaghy quickly levelled as he beat Oliver Grener 5/4 and Connor Sutton gave Denton the lead with a one-hole win over Matt Platt. |

Leyland showed their battling qualities
as Oliver Jeffers beat Joe Nuttall 3/2 and Joe O’ Donnell gave them a vital
lead with a 5/4 win over Callum Grindle. The Denton junior Captain Ben Pollit kept his nerve with a one-hole win over James Parker to leave the destiny of the trophy in the hands of the last pair on the course. Denton’s three handicapper Aiden Murphy showed his quality with a two-hole win over Matt Cragg to see the trophy proudly claimed by his jubilant team after a final that was a tribute to the junior organisers and players of both teams from an original entry of over 70 clubs. |
