The weather was dry and bright as the 15 juniors teed off on Saturday morning in pursuit of this trophy in a stableford competition. Less than four hours later Charles Holland was the winner with 44 points, a score which resulted in a handicap reduction from 28 to 24. Second place was a tie between Harrison Tudor- Jackson and Harry Fearn who both scored 41 points.

In the 10 hole competition played over the newly laid out junior course Leann Nixon triumphed for the second time this year as she held off the challenge of the boys.

Full results are on the junior noticeboard in the clubhouse.

Well done to all the juniors who supported the event.

At the end of April 2011 Fred Fearn (Leek Golf Club Professional) held a tournament at The 3 Hammers Complex.

All 8 Staffordshire Academies competed against each other and a fantastic day was had by all. There was a great atmosphere with friends and family support.

Fred was very proud of all the children as they behaved to a very high standard and represented their academies in an exemplary way.
