In absolutely birdie fest at the top of the leaderboard - the top 3 managed 26 birdies and 2 eagles in the 36 hole competition.  Don't be fooled into thinking it was easy though - Matt finished level par to win by 3 shots (from both Steve and Tom) after late night drive back from Scotland the evening before having just failed to make the cut at the Scottish Amateur event at North Berwick.  Creditable mentions George Robson and Alistair Smith, who finished a further 3 shots back, both putting together two respectable rounds.  Elsewhere there were some good 18 hole scores from Tom Ellerker (74 in the morning) and Nathan Wilkinson (71 in the afternoon).  Huge thanks to all Pike Hills for their support on the day !

The Tadcaster pair won a very tight contest with 6 pairs within 3 shots.  Foursomes is always a tough format and Kirkbymoorside always a good test (especially on a windy day !).

Ultimately 4 consecutive pars at the end of the back 9 was enough to to keep Caroline and Nick at the top of the field in a leaderboard where 6 of the top 7 teams represented either Tadcaster or Malton & Norton (thank you to both clubs for supporting the competition so well !) 

Huge thanks to all at Krikbymoorside for their support on the day !

 

 

We had a great day today at Fulford under glorious golfing conditions to stage the first junior event of the season.  We had a field of 30 players from across the union yielding 10 teams who fought hard over the testing Fulford course which was in superb condition.    

As the teams returned their scores the lead changed regularly but in the end the Oaks B team triumphed with a magnificent 72 points from the sibling pairing of Aston and Darcey Kidd.  The York A team of Murphy Riddell and Ewan Schofield came a narrow second with 69 points whilst the Oaks A team finished third with 66 points.

Congratulations to Ewan Schofield who recorded the best individual score of 42 points.  

Manks thanks to the large number of parents and Junior Organsiers who attended in numbers to support their teams.  A special thank you to Steve Wood the new YU president who engaged with many of the teams out on the course today and Mike Ward who ensured the figures all added up and made sense in the end. 

A final thanks to Fulford who were excellent hosts with Pat experting starting everyone off and JP for ensuring all scores were correctly recorded.
