Kent shine at South of England Schools' Championship
On Wednesday 31st May at Henley Golf Club, the Kent Schools' players enjoyed a very successful day.
Ben Quinney (Valley Park School, Maidstone) was the winner of the Boys' Championship by four shots. He followed his level par morning 70 with a three under 67 to total 137 and to win by four shots from fellow Kent player 14 year-old Henry Warnock-Thompson( Norton Knatchbull School, Ashford).
Henry returned a 74 in the morning but improved by seven shots to post an excellent score of 141, one over par. With Cameron Lombard 76 and 72 and Max Rutherford 74 and 77 (both from Canterbury High) Ben and Henry made up the Kent Boys' Team whose score of 424 (best three scores from four, a.m. and p.m.) took the Team Trophy by 19 shots from Surrey.
The success did not stop there however. Nicola Smith (Highsted G.S.), former Schools' international in her last appearance for Kent before going to University in America was second in the Girls' Championship with rounds of 78 and 74.Unfortunately, although qualifying, she will not be joining Ben, Henry and Cameron in the English Schools' National Championship at the Kendleshire,Avon, on 25th/26th June as she has an important exam on 26th. Max Rutherford is at present second reserve for the South Team.
We wish them all every success and acknowledge the support the K.S.G.A. receive from the Kent Golf Union and the Kent County Playing Fields Association.
