Wrekin's Coleman produces superb round to take under-14 title
Wrekin's Ross Coleman conquered all in the Shropshire & Herefordshire Under-14 Stableford Championships at Arscott Golf Club on Sunday.
Some good golf was evident right from the start when 12-year-old Ben Steventon (Telford) rifled home a downhill putt from at least 12 feet to birdie the first.
This was followed in with a solid par from another county rising star, Louis Rickett (Oswestry) just to set the tone for the day.
The chasing players also began to play some cracking golf as the round progressed, and with their handicaps allowing them to flourish, they were pushing the lead group all the way.
Indeed it was a brilliant effort from Coleman (Wrekin) in the final group to win with a consistent round – scoring 21 points on both front and back nines to amass a tremendous score of 42 points.
The runner-up prize went to Louis Rickett (36 points) and third place was secured by Ben Steventon (35 points).
The Jeffrey Clee Salver was played at Ludlow Golf Club in very blustery and tough conditions, but the winners of the trophy from Shifnal – James Showell & Jon Houlston – coped very well, scoring 75 & 71 gross to win by five shots from Darren Lewis & Chris Bufton on 151 total. Third place went to George Watton and Darren Humphrieson 152.
The winners of the net prize was Jamie Mee and Ryan Painter (Leominster GC) with 146.
