31.08.2010 > Guernsey defeat Jersey in first of this year's golf Inter-Insulars

The Junior Inter-Insular, the first of the year took place at L'Ancresse over the Bank Holiday weekend and Guernsey triumphed 11 matches to 9. The format was played over two days, foursomes and four balls on Saturday and singles on Sunday morning. 

The morning foursomes were shared 2.5 matches each. Guernsey had Aimee Ponte playing, the first time that a girl has played for Guernsey in the Junior inter-insular, and she was drawn with her partner to play Jersey's strongest pairing of Steven Anderson and Nick Wildman. The match was halved.

In the afternoon, Guernsey took control of the whole match by winning the four balls matches 4 - 1, to take a 3 point advantage going into the singles the following day.

Despite Jersey winning the singles on sunday 5.5 matches to 4.5, it was not enough and Guernsey won the trophy for the first time in many years.

The Seniors inter-insular takes place next weekend at La Grand Mare and the main Inter-Insular follows the week after, 11th and 12th September at La Moye Golf Club. Let's hope for better results in the forthcoming weeks.

The full results can be viewed on the resuts pages of the website.

05.08.2010 > Olivia wins St Andrews Ladies Junior Open

Olivia Jordan-Higgins has won the St Andrews Ladies Junior Open earlier today. She defeated Emma Harris 2up in the final. However, it wasn't without drama.

Olivia led 2up at the turn but the next few holes were shared and she extended her lead to 3 holes after the 14th. The 15th was halved so Olivia was three up with three to play. However, the next two holes went to her opponent.

So for the third time this week Olivia had to play the last and she managed to close out the match.

Congratulations to Olivia from the Captain, Committee, members and staff of the Royal Jersey!
