Firstly, I would like to say what an honour it is to be Junior Captain 2012, leading such a talented Junior Section.  I am really looking forward to the beginning of the 2012 season as I know great golf is on the way. I would like to welcome the new team members and wish them every success.
As Junior Captain I will try my best to set a high standard both on and off the course and will hopefully lead my team to victory and show them that the more you put in, the better the results.  I am sure the lads will make me proud by their commitment, support and effort.
I would like to thank John, Henry and all the parents for their support both with the organising and taxis!
Good luck everyone and remember, the real winners are the ones that never give up!


Regards
Ryan

Seniors/Juniors Match at Appleby Golf Club - April 21st at 10am

This annual match took place in typical autumn weather -sunshine, rain and hail - but it did not dampen the enthusiasm of the players. The twelve juniors and twelve seniors were combined into two mixed teams named the Gentlemen and the Players, and the Players eventually triumphed by 9 to 3, winning the morning Greensomes by 5 to 1, and the afternoon 4BBB by 4 to 2. All the individual matches were very close and played in a fantastic spirit.

Greensomes (Players team on the left and Seniors name first)
H. Horridge and R. Shuttleworth bt C. Heath and W. Marklew 2 and 1
S. Smith and R. Coates halved with A. Miles and B. Johnstone
A. Postlethwaite and J. Woof bt M. Barrand and D. Carson 3 and 1
A. Morrison and M. Burrows bt R. Forster and L. Walker 2 and 1
M. Dodds and A. Wolstencroft bt R. Leather and I. Moncaster 1 up

Final result: Players 9 Gentlemen 3

Northumberland v Cumbria, Burgham Park GC, April 3rd 2012 - Match abandoned due to bad weather.

Points shared; Northumberland 1 Cumbria 1
The match began in atrocious weather - bitterly cold wind, driving rain, which turned to sleet, and then snow. With conditions worsening by the minute the match had to be abandoned with the leading pair, U16s Ben Johnstone and Andy Wolstencroft, 5-up at the 12th. Top pairing for the U18s, Will Marklew and Ryan Crayston, were 1-up after the Northumberland pair conceded at the 11th. Jake Woof and Andy Turner were 2-up and Josh Carr and Declan Carson were 3-up, having turned a 2-down deficit into a 3-up lead. Although the match was not concluded a lot of positives emerged from it. The commitment of the team, four of which were playing their first full county match, was obvious - despite the awful conditions none of the Cumbria boys wanted to come off the course when the match was abandoned. The team spirit was excellent and the quality of the golf was admirable. With these boys and those unavailable for this match Cumbria has a squad to be proud of; a good season is in prospect!

2012 - A young team but a good one!

Sadly, we have said farewell to the older players who have served the county well over the last few years and now must rebuild. We wish them well as they move on to their chosen careers and, if they are able to, I hope they will come to the home matches . They will always be welcome and I am sure the team will appreciate their support.

We have some outstanding young talent in Ryan Shuttleworth, Will Marklew, Ross Coates, Josh Carr and Chris Kendall who will form the backbone of the squad next year but there are several other players who will be able to stake a claim for a place in the Northern Federation League team by the time the season begins. Other young players have been invited onto the squad to make up the County U16 team who will play against Lancashire, Durham and Northumberland. Andrew Wolstencroft, Ben Johnstone, Luke Walker and Jake Woof have already had experience playing for the county and we look forward to seeing them develop their talents during the season.Some of older players who have one more year left as juniors, such as Dan Bescoby and Ryan Crayston will also be part of what we like to call Team Cumbria. The first get together will be at Carus Green Golf Club on Sunday December 18th from 10am to 3pm. The boys and their parents will be introduced to the County Coaches, Andrew Pickering and Steve Harrison, then will be briefed on expectations for the 2012 season and will receive coaching on practice routines and skills which they will be expected to work on during the winter before the beginning of regular team sessions leading up to the start of the season's programme. As always, we will be on the lookout for other committed young golfers to add to the squad when the Junior Masters Tour begins in the Spring.
