Bishop Auckland Golf Club Juniors

Update from Thursday 23rd. Durham U14 v Yorkshire U14

After the morning foursomes, points were shared at 2-2, with everything to play for in the afternoon singles.

Fully aware of the challenge ahead each player dug deep to try to give Alex Sheen the best possible send off in his last game in charge.

As usual the standard of golf was high with some outstanding shots and great putts produced. The lads stuck at it and came out eventual winners.

Final Score:
Durham 6.5 v Yorkshire 5.5

This may be the first time our U14 team has won against Yorkshire, or at least the first win for a very long time. I'm sure someone out there will confirm.

Good luck to Alex as he moves to manage our U16 team, and good luck and thank you to Lee Scott and Joe Cullen for stepping forward to run the U14 team and our development groups.

Alex wishes to thank the parents who bring the lads to golf coaching, practice and matches. The sacrifices you all make is appreciated by all involved with DCGU. Well done.

Congratulations to both players and all competitors who shot some great scores.

BAGC Junior Club Championship, good luck to all our players up against challenging, blustery conditions.

It's been a busy few days for our Bishop Auckland Golf Club Juniors.

BAGC hosted Tyneside in the last 8 of the DCGU Junior Clark Cup. Against strong opponents Charlie, Jenson, Elliot, Issac & Alfie forced a sudden death play off where Charlie lost out to a magnificent birdie on the 19th hole. Congratulations to Tyneside & best wishes in the semi finals.

In the last league match of the season the team travelled to Eaglescliffe GC, unfortunately one man short due to busy golfing calendars. Charlie, Coby, Jenson & Elliot all dug deep to give their opponents a serious challenge but Eaglescliffe were well deserved winners. All players enjoyed the course but special mention to the pizza order!!

Congratulations to Charlie Curry for his first call up for DCGU Juniors in their Under 14's match against Northumberland & Finley Hall & Ben Mawson representing Durham Under 18's v Lancashire.

Congratulations to Jenson Cullen for his first Hole in One at the 8th hole @ BAGC.

Last night the Bishop Auckland Golf Club Juniors travelled to Hartlepool GC for their league match. Although a new venue for 4 of the 5 man team all matches were extremely close, a credit to everyone. The final result of a halved match overall was a great achievement. Players on both teams were seen to communicate really well with each other, it's great to see team spirit building week on week.

Once again, representing Bishop Auckland Golf Club Juniors, tonight in the last 16 of the DCGU Junior Knockout, George King & Jenson Cullen decisively won their match against Wynyard 8&6. Both players continued their partnership playing extremely steady, controlled golf.
Congratulations.

On Monday evening Bishop Auckland Golf Club Juniors hosted Blackwell GC in the first round of the DCGU Junior Clark Cup. With some excellent matches the home team kept their cool and produced a 4-1 win. Thanks to players Callum, Ben, Charlie, Coby & Jenson also to caddies and supporters. Blackwell were due to return to BAGC on Tuesday for a league match but due to the course being closed we look forward to welcoming them back to the High Plains soon.
