Congratulations to Team Manager Charlie Birchall and his team for beating the other nine Midland Counties in winning the 2016 M.G.U. County Cup played at Great Barr GC. The team pictured below L-R Charlie Birchall (Team Manager) (Ingestre Park GC) Ellis Muckley (Great Barr GC), Zarak Curley (Leek GC), Harry Fearn (Trentham GC), Tom Alford (Branston GC), Matt Shelton (Captain) (Great Barr GC) and George White (Walsall GC).
A win for Staffordshire boys was not as easy as the score suggests, despite a handsome lead of 5 - 1 in the morning foursomes. The result was in doubt until the back 9 in the singles when the Staffordshire boys pulled away for the win by turning round a couple of the singles games.
A very enjoyable U16 fixture over 18 holes of singles, provided good experience for the Staffordshire U16 boys.
We were made most welcome at Crewe GC, where Cheshire were the winners by 6.5 - 3.5.
This annual three cornered match was again enjoyed by all on a very well presented South Staffs GC, whose officials welcomed, fed and watered all three Teams on the day. Winners were Shrops & Hereford 20.5, 2nd Worcestershire 17, and 3rd Staffordshire 16.5.

Well done to James Bailey (Branston GC) who won the recent English School's U16 Championships held at John O'Gaunt GC. James scored 68,75 and has now been picked to represent England School's in an International match against Wales in August.
After a very promising start in the foursomes, the Staffs Boys faded to a share of the matches.
However, after a very strong performance in the Singles, Staffordshire came out as winners by 14 - 4. details below:-
