Junior MNR Championship Tournament

On Sunday the 30th August, several of our junior girls travelled to Leicestershire to compete in the Annual MNR Golf Championships. The competition was held over 36, 18 and 9-hole events. The course was in good condition with receptive, but slower paced greens from those of the dryer summer conditions. Seven of the girls played in the 36-hole event with Denni Coleman (Llanymynech) winning the overall gross event, with 2 stunning rounds of golf of 75 per round. Aliyah Summers (Bridgnorth) came third in the gross, once again proving that Shropshire have several up-and-coming stars of scratch golf.  FULL REPORT & photos (pdf)
