Sports Update 29.11.24

In arguably one of the best days for College sports, SC were victorious in three out of four matches against some of the best schools’ sports sides.

On Wednesday 27 November, Scarborough College faced opposition in hockey and rugby from Bradford Grammar School, Durham School, Sedbergh School and St Peter’s York.  Winning three games, it was a remarkable day for the sports department and testament to the incredible work that has been taking place over the past few years.

Rugby Magic

In a match for the ages and certainly on paper, the toughest test so far, captain Tom led out his First XV to face a strong Durham School side, including an England U18 international and several academy players. As expected, the Durham pack was formidable in both size and physicality but the SC front-rowers stood up to the test.

Tough conditions player their part but our boys showed remarkable technical and tactical abilities to cope with what was thrown at them.  A penalty and conversion from Will and tries from both Seb and Lucas provided the 14 – 15 scoreline in what Mr Thurgood described as, ‘Arguable the most significant result in the school’s history’.

Continued Success for the U19 Girls

Meanwhile, back home, the U19 Girls’ hockey team played an organised and disciplined first half against Sedbergh School that saw the opponents camped in their own half for the duration of the first half.  A half-time score of 2-0, courtesy of Ines Lorenzo and Siobhan Daley, looked to set the stage for a controlled and calm second half.

A determined Sedbergh School brought the deficit back to one before a fast break set up Siobhan for her second of the day  A controversial Sedbergh short corner that was struck without appearing to hit the backboard meant a very nervy three minutes.  The girls held firm and progress to the final eight of the ISHC Cup.

Boys’ U18 in (Gr)eight Spirits

With a very busy hockey term ahead, it would appear that the U18s are starting to gel in all areas of the pitch.  Although the scoreline might deceive, both Cole and Harry were put to the test and came out with some excellent saves.  The midfield is coping with the demands of hockey at this level and are starting to link very well with the forwards.

Up front, meanwhile, there was a veritable goal glut as Reto (4), Levi (3) and Nicholas all got in among the goals.  While it might appear that BGS were simply swept aside, this was a commanding performance from the boys and a culmination of many hours of hard work on the training ground.

Cooper House Gets Creative for Movember

Friday, 22 November was Cooper House’s day in the spotlight, and they made it one to remember by supporting Movember, the global charity raising awareness for men’s health issues like prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health. With a mix of fun activities, dressing up and competitive edge, the whole school got involved to make a difference.

Molly, joint Cooper House Captain, explained the choice of charity: “This year, we picked Movember because it’s so important to raise awareness around men’s mental health and prostate cancer. These aren’t topics that people talk about enough, so we wanted to get everyone thinking about them.”

Cooper House took the fundraising to a new level with some unique activities. Students could buy stick-on moustaches – coined as “Buy a Tash for Cash”, which added a splash of humour to the day. There was also a twist on the classic party game of Pin the Tail on the Donkey, with participants pinning moustaches on photos of Molly, Nicola (fellow House Captain), and Mr. Kelly, Academic Head of House. 

Lunchtime saw the traditional Cooper Inter-House dodgeball match played out in Lisvane Hall. The majority of the senior school came to watch what turned out to be a very competitive and entertaining tournament, from which Cooper emerged victorious in both the Junior and Senior competitions.  

Cooper students and staff came together dressed head to toe in their signature blue, filling the school with house pride and energy. The day was a perfect blend of fun and awareness, all for a meaningful cause.

Adding to the fundraising efforts, Mr. Kelly, completed an incredible personal challenge in the lead-up to the Cooper House Day. On Saturday 16 November, he ran laps around Bramcote Athletics Track from sunrise to sunset, racking up an impressive 70 kilometres! His dedication not only raised more funds but also inspired students to push their limits for a good cause – what an amazing achievement. 

Congratulations to Cooper House for organising another fantastic House Day. The link to support Mr Kelly’s Go Fund Me for Movember is still open – click here to donate. Crews House, you’re up next in the new year!

Sports Update 15.11.24

Indoor hockey

The season is well underway this half term with our U16 & 18 boys and U16 girls all in action. 

Up first were the U18 boys. After a slow start the boys gathered momentum, under the leadership of our senior players Ben, Reto, Joel and Cole. Games against St Peter’s and RGS Newcastle saw the boys play fast, decisive indoor hockey picking up two comfortable victories, setting up a semi final clash against Yarm. Two clinical corners saw Yarm take an early lead, however, the boys battled hard to get back into the game scoring two well crafted goals making the score 3-2. Unfortunately, with the aid of another corner, Yarm progressed to the final eventual winners 5-3. The boys represented the college superbly both on and off the pitch.

The U16 girls played an incredible style of indoor hockey, moving the ball at high speed and putting the opposition under pressure. This resulted in numerous quality team goals against QEGS Wakefield and Bradford Grammar School, setting up a semi final against GSAL. Scarborough dominated the semi final controlling possession creating multiple opportunities only to be thwarted by a superb performance by the GSAL goalkeeper, leaving the score tied at 1-1. After such a dominant performance it was tough to decide the game on shuffles and unfortunately for our girls the goalkeeper continued her performance, keeping them out. Well done to all the girls. 

The U16 boys started with intent laying down a marker with a cool, calm, composed performance. They moved the ball confidently, controlling possession to score four quality goals. The boys topped their group with a comprehensive win over GSAL to set up a final against Yarm. The final was a high quality game of indoor hockey with Scarborough controlling the game for large parts taking the lead twice. As with the U16 girls’, there was last second drama as a dubious corner was given to Yarm which they converted on the final whistle to tie the score 2-2 and send it to penalty flicks. All the pressure was stacked on the shoulders of the College boys, however, they showed the resilience they have developed over the last few years and converted all their flicks to win 3-2. They now progress to the National finals at Whitgift school. A massive well done to all the squad on a superb result becoming the North East Champions.

The U18 girls play in the North East finals next Wednesday and we wish them the very best of luck.

Hockey

Taking a break from Tier 1, our 1st XI turned their attention to the Independent Schools Hockey Cup with a convincing win over RGS Newcastle. The boys continue their preparations for the season ahead with wins for the U16 and 18’s side against QEGS Wakefield. The U13 girls hockey have made good progress this season with a win against Pocklington and a draw against Ampleforth U14’s. The U15’s have enjoyed similar success recently with a big win over Pocklington and Ampleforth’s 2nd XI

Rugby

The 1st XV travelled to Edinburgh to compete in the Merchiston Castle Festival against some of the biggest rugby schools and academies in England and Scotland. The weekend proved a huge test for our small squad, however, the experience was invaluable and the resilience and determination was evident for all to live on Nextgen. The standout performances came against Wycliffe in the group stage with a strong 19-5 win, and against Finborough, where the boys led until the last seven minutes (when a couple of injuries tested our reserves). In the final game of the day, in the placing game, the boys faced Wycliffe in a rematch. The game swung back and forth with both teams showing creative attack and aggressive defence, and finished in a deserved draw. A physically challenging weekend for our boys, but an incredible experience showing how far they have progressed.

The U14 and 1st XV both faced Harrogate Grammar in the first week back after half term – the U14’s playing superbly away from home in a very competitive and close game, losing by a single score. The 1st XV, after losing to Harrogate earlier in the season, avenged this result by beating Harrogate away from home in one of the standout performances of the season. 

We wish them the very best of luck in their last 16 plate fixture against Mount St Mary’s.

Equestrian

Congratulations the Equestrian team who came 7th in the 90cm class at Champs over half term. Harry R also competed in his first British eventing competition and Felicity claimed the 133cm working hunter point title at Horse of the Year show. 

Well done to two very talented Y7 students for their recent competitions. Madeline placed 5th in the eventers challenge class and Felicity has been busy winning arena eventing and show jumping classes. Well done to all our equestrian team.

Netball

The Owls and Gibbons continue to perform well in the adult evening league. Congratulations to the U16 Netball team who has retained their district title.

Karting 

Y11 student Joe won the Teesside Karting Junior Rotax Championship after nine rounds, during which he was on the podium five times. The championship went down to the wire of the final round, which took place in the last weekend of October. It was only decided on the last race of the season, when Joe finished nervously in 8th place in the final, after an incident filled three heats. Thankfully he secured enough points to win the Championship – congratulations to him!

This was the culmination of a tough season that included a few mechanical failures and having his chassis written off by a competitor in a practice session in Round 6. Joe has aspirations of competing in the Motorsport UK Kart Championship in 2025 where he will compete in six rounds at various tracks in Britain.

Edinburgh Sports Tour 2024

In early November, the U13 boys’ rugby and girls’ hockey teams embarked on the annual Edinburgh Tour, a much-anticipated highlight on the school sports calendar. Below, Mr Robson shares the highlights from the trip.

Friday: Arrival and Exploring the Royal Yacht Britannia

After a long journey north, the group arrived in Edinburgh and kicked off their adventure with a tour of the Royal Yacht Britannia, the late Queen’s beloved vessel that accompanied the Royal Family on many of their global tours. It was a fascinating look into history and a unique start to the weekend.

Following the tour, everyone enjoyed a hearty meal at Pizza Hut to relax, fuel up, and bond ahead of an action-packed weekend. An early night was in order, as everyone was eager for the action over the days ahead.

Saturday: Rugby and Hockey Matches at Ardvreck

Saturday saw the U13s head to Ardvreck for the annual rugby and hockey fixtures. Spirits were high as the teams shared lunch, and then it was time to hit the pitches.

The rugby match was a nail-biter, with some fantastic ball-carrying and backline play that led to multiple tries for Scarborough. By half-time, the team held a healthy lead. Despite a spirited second-half comeback from Ardvreck, the U13s maintained their composure and finished with a resounding 57-14 victory.

Meanwhile, the girls’ hockey teams displayed superb skill and teamwork. Both the A and B teams dominated their matches, with standout goalkeeping from Lara, who kept Ardvreck’s attackers at bay. Molly’s impressive season continued as she scored in the A team’s 5-0 win, while Bea controlled the midfield and set the pace for the B team, who finished 6-0 winners after a strong second-half performance.

To celebrate, the group had their evening meal at Jolly Pizzeria, our traditional second night spot – this tour has been going there for 20 years. 

Sunday: Remembrance and a Trip to Edinburgh Dungeons

Sunday was a special day, as the group observed Remembrance Sunday at Edinburgh Castle. They joined the crowd for a solemn military parade, followed by a moving two-minute silence punctuated by the castle guns – a powerful experience that was respectfully observed by all.

Afterwards, the group took on the thrills and chills of the Edinburgh Dungeons. The terrifying exhibits were met with nervous excitement and plenty of laughs, especially as the children emerged from the dungeons smiling – none more relieved to be out than Mr Woolley!

Monday: Final Fixtures at RGS Newcastle

As the tour came to a close on Monday, there was still time for one last set of matches at RGS Newcastle. The boys had an intense rugby game, facing a formidable RGS side. Despite narrowly missing out on victory by a single try, the boys put on an outstanding display. Special mention goes to Ed, who played a brilliant game and kept the team’s spirits high.

The girls played two hockey matches, though tired legs set in towards the end, they showed great resilience. The B team, however, finished the tour unbeaten with a hard-fought 3-2 win, never giving up and securing a memorable victory.

The Edinburgh Tour 2024 was a resounding success. Every player represented the school with pride and dedication and all the children were a credit to the school.

Prize Giving 2024

This week, Scarborough College had the pleasure of welcoming back recent leavers, celebrating their achievements as well as the accomplishments of current students at the Annual Prize Giving Ceremony. The occasion gives the College the opportunity to highlight the talents of its community, bringing together students, staff, families, the Charter Mayor of Scarborough, and alumni to honour the previous academic year.

Last Saturday’s ceremony recognised prize winners from across the school, spanning from Year 7 to Year 13. Among them were students proudly collecting their GCSE and IB certificates, a testament to their hard work and dedication. 

The day began with a warm welcome from Mr Guy Robinson, Chair of Governors, who inspired everyone with the school’s ambitious new five-year vision. He also touched on the current political climate, helping contextualise the ever-evolving landscape in which we find ourselves. Additionally, he offered gratitude to the outgoing Chair, Dr. John Renshaw, who received a heartfelt token of appreciation for his years of service and dedication to Scarborough College.

The ceremony featured a performance by the senior choir of “Eternity” by Michael Bojesen. It was a lovely moment of harmony, with both staff and students joining in to create a truly special moment. Following the choir, Headmaster Mr Guy Emmett took the stage to deliver his Annual Report. Reflecting on the 2023-24 school year, Mr. Emmett highlighted the school’s many successes, from national sports victories like the U15 Boys’ Cricket team, who were crowned national champions, to outstanding performances in drama with our productions of Matilda and The Importance of Being Earnest. He also commended the impressive IB results and strong GCSE grades. His thanks and gratitude were extended to all teaching and operational staff for their unwavering commitment to creating a supportive and inspiring environment for their students.

We were honoured to have former Scarborough College student, Mr Waveney Crookes, as the day’s guest speaker. Since his days at the College, Mr Crookes has built an impressive career, serving in the armed forces, working as a deep-sea diver, and now leading SeaGrown, the UK’s first offshore seaweed cultivation company dedicated to improving ocean health and mitigating climate change. Mr Crookes shared invaluable life lessons on the importance of failure, resilience and the growth that comes from adversity – a unique perspective that included a memorable story about jellyfish!

Current Head of School Toby gave the Vote of Thanks, echoing Mr Crookes’ admiration for our Yorkshire Grit programme, which builds resilience and character. The College was delighted to welcome back last year’s Head of School, Jacob, who reflected on his journey through Scarborough College, expressing gratitude to the staff who had supported him from his early days in the Prep School to leading the student body in Year 13.

The ceremony concluded with a rousing rendition of “Jerusalem” and the national anthem, marking a powerful and fitting end to the day. It was made even more special by the attendance of Mr Phil Wilson, Former Head of Middle Tier, who joined us to say a fond farewell to last year’s Year 13. His presence was a moving reminder of the deep connections that make the College community so extraordinary.

Sincere thanks to Holroyd Howe, the College’s catering team, for the impressive lunch that followed, capping off a fantastic event. It was a wonderful day for the school community, celebrating the accomplishments of all students and the strong relationships that define Scarborough College.

Restart a Heart Week success

Y13 student Hannah and the rest of the Medicine, Veterinary and Dentistry Society shared their experiences of the Restart a Heart Week activities, organised by the team.

Last week, our school proudly participated in Restart a Heart Week, an initiative aimed at raising awareness about the importance of CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) and empowering everyone with life-saving skills. 

Throughout the week, we conducted hands-on CPR workshops for every year group from year 6 upwards. Each student had the chance to practise these essential techniques under the guidance of staff and volunteers from the Medicine, Veterinary and Dentistry Society. By the end of the week, our entire school community had gained invaluable skills that could help save a life in an emergency. It was incredible to see the enthusiasm and determination from students across all year groups.

In addition to the CPR workshops, we held a bake sale to support the cause. We raised money, which will go towards the British Heart Foundation who will use it for further CPR training and resources to keep spreading awareness.

Another exciting feature of the week was the heart dissection session, where students were given the unique opportunity to explore the anatomy of the heart up close. This hands-on experience provided an insight into how the heart works and helped deepen their understanding of why CPR is so vital.

The Medical, Veterinary and Dentistry society also hosted a special Restart a Heart assembly. Students and staff gathered to reflect on the importance of CPR and hear real-life stories about how quick action can make a life-saving difference. A huge thank you to everyone who participated, donated, and helped organise the week.

Armstrong House Day

Today, Armstrong House kicked off the first House Day of 2024 with a range of activities that energized the senior school.

To celebrate, students proudly donned red clothing  for their house colour and even enjoyed an early lunch in honour of their special day.

The event began with an assembly dedicated to Percy Armstrong, the College’s first Headmaster. During their presentation to the whole senior school, Armstrong students shared fascinating facts about their house’s namesake. and also introduced their chosen charity, ParalympicsGB, for which they would be raising funds during the day.

A cake sale at breaktime raised an impressive £150 in support of their chosen charity, with tasty treats like cookies and brownies on offer – all baked by the Armstrong students. However, the  highlight of the day was undoubtedly the lunchtime Tug-of-War competition, where the whole school gathered to watch House vs House showdown. The atmosphere was buzzing as both the Hornby boys and girls teams claimed decisive victories, winning every match with impressive teamwork, resilience and determination.

A huge thank you to the Heads of Armstrong House, Lucy and Tom, as well as the Armstrong student committee, for organising such a successful and enjoyable day.

As Lucy and Tom say: “We love Armstrong because the house holds a sense of determination and unity”

The event was a wonderful start to the 2024 House Days, bringing students together and supporting a great cause! Next up will be Cooper House on 18 November.

Senior School Sports Update 20.09.24

It has been a very busy start to the year for our teams with impressive performances across all ages. From the U9s to the 1st teams, all have had an excellent start to the season.

The 1st XV travel to Pocklington School tomorrow, having begun the season impressively. The season began with a victory against Hymers and they will be hoping to continue an impressive start to the season. Last Saturday we played four fixtures against Yarm School, with the boys winning two games, drawing one and losing one. The Under 15s secured the performance of the day with a 22-0 victory, having lost in the reverse fixture last year. Well played to all teams.

The 1st XI girls’ team played their 7th game of the season at home to RGS Newcastle on Wednesday. A fine 7-0 victory in their Tier 1 league fixture ensured the girls maintained their 100% record against schools. Last year the girls finished 5th in the country for indoor hockey, reached the national quarter final in the U18s England Schools’ cup and finished runners up in the ISHC U19s national cup. However, their unbeaten run was ended with a 3-0 defeat against the University of Durham, although the team is to be congratulated for a fine team performance against one of the best University sides in the country. On Wednesday they travel to Oakham School. The performance of the week goes to the U15s who won in the first round of the cup 5-1 against Queen Margaret’s School, although the 2nd XI defeating Worksop College 1st XI 3-2 deserves a special mention. Last Saturday the U13s also played exceptionally well in a 3-2 defeat of Terrington Hall.

Our netballers have also begun the season with impressive performances in the local adult league. We are delighted that we have two senior teams in the league and the season has begun with four victories against tough opposition, including Mrs Emmett’s netball club. You can follow the team’s progress on their Instagram account and we look forward to seeing them play on our new netball courts soon.

In the Sixth Form, our 1st XI footballers lost narrowly against Dame Allan’s School in the national cup. Mr Woolley’s 1st XI played well and they will be hoping to match last year’s excellent season.

The cricket season ended on Wednesday, with a Development XI defeating the Forty Club at Flixton Cricket Club. Having scored 295-2, the opposition fell short of their target by 60 runs. Five of the 1st XI also celebrated national cup success as Yorkshire U18s became national champions. However, it is every pupil who will be excited about the new cricket nets, tennis courts, basketball and netball courts that will be opening soon. Congratulations to each pupil for a special season, from those who played their first game of cricket for the U8s to our national winning team. 

Individual Success

Outside of our impressive team results, some of our students have

 – Congratulations to Equestrians Y11 students Imogen and Felicity in Y7. Imogen was selected for the British Eventing U18 Northern Team, achieving an impressive 18th place in her section at the first competition, while her team secured 5th place overall. Felicity was chosen for the England WHP team over the summer. She delivered a clear round and finished 3rd individually, a great accomplishment for such a young rider.

 – In hockey, students Pip and Jack were both selected for England hockey trials. We are delighted that their talent has been recognised, and we look forward to hearing the outcome. 

 – Y11 Hattie continues her success in the world of squash, having played at the England Squash Silver Tournament in Doncaster. Despite tough competition, Hattie managed to place 15th in this road to England selection competition. She also retained the Bridlington Ladies Club title for 2024/5.

 – Congratulations to Tom (captain of College’s 1st XV), Oliver and Seb who have all been selected and played for Scarborough Rugby Club’s 1st XV.

U15s Cricketers wind up exceptional summer of success

In the final dance of the summer, Scarborough College Under 15’s ventured south to the beautiful and historic Arundel Castle in West Sussex, aiming to add the T20 title to their ESCA 50 over championship. A victory in the semi final would mean that they would be the first school in the country to ever achieve a national T20 final place and the ESCA national title. In the semi final the boys would have to overcome Midlands Champions, Shrewsbury School.

Scarborough, after winning the toss, opted to bat on a good looking wicket for the first semi-final of the day. The innings began slowly, but Harry Amstell breathed some life into proceedings by scoring 17 runs in the fifth over which started to create a foundation. Despite a brief wobble with the departures of Danny O’Connor and Amstell (23), Jack Milburn (52) and Ben Crick (49*) forged a crucial 64-run partnership off 38 balls. A wonderful combination of working the ball into gaps supported by some lusty blows to the boundary and beyond. Milburn’s powerful hitting, including a magnificent six over long-on and a productive 14th over going for 17 runs, were particular highlights. Although Milburn fell with the score at 110 in the 15th over, Crick’s aggressive play continued as he took 21 runs from the final over, propelling Scarborough to a formidable total of 162/7 off 20 overs.

In their chase, Shrewsbury got a few boundaries away early on in the power play but struggled with the introduction of spin. Peer Lidsba took a good catch for the first wicket and Hesanda Abayakoon’s 3-21 proved pivotal, restricting Shrewsbury to 136/5. Harry Hutchinson picked up two late wickets in the innings to ensure Shrewsbury fell short. Ben Crick’s one over worthy of a mention having conceded just one run during the middle overs. Scarborough emerged victorious by 26 runs, advancing to the final against the renowned Harrow School.

Harrow, featuring a strong line-up which was on display during their semi final victory against Kings College Taunton, set a daunting target of 195/8. Despite Scarborough’s bowlers making some inroads, loose deliveries allowed Harrow’s batters to capitalise all too often. Abayakoon was the standout bowler with 1-26 from his four overs, and Danny O’Connor took three late wickets from his two overs.

Chasing a formidable total, Scarborough struggled early against the pace of Aditya Singh and contrasting spin of Kavish Mehta, losing three early wickets to put them up against it. Harry Amstell’s brief but aggressive innings (27 off 15 balls) and solid contributions from Evan Chapman (23) and Danny O’Connor (36) weren’t enough as Scarborough finished 131 all out, falling short by 64 runs.

Despite the defeat, Scarborough College’s U15s have had an exceptional season, finishing as national runners-up in T20 and champions in the 45-over format. The season was marked by numerous highlights, showcasing outstanding teamwork and unity, a great advert for the strength of the cricket centre of excellence at Scarborough College. 

We extend our gratitude to all the players who represented the Under 15s with distinction, as well as the parents, teachers, and support staff for their dedication and commitment throughout this remarkable season.

Written by Cricket Centre of Excellence Coach, Stuart Guy

Golfing Success for George

Over this summer, Year 3 student George Rowell took part in the Wee Wonders GB & Ireland Grand final. Having come through regional qualifying rounds, Huddersfield Golf Club and Leeds Golf Centre, to then a north of England final at again Leeds Golf Centre, which he shot 34 over 9 holes, he was delighted to qualify in first place for the grand finale. In the finale, George competed in the 6&U category which took place at North Berwick Golf Club, East Lothian.

George went up to Scotland a few days early and took the chance to have a few practice rounds. During the practice rounds George met a few locals and chatted to the greenkeepers, picking up a few tips. One of the strict rules of the Wee Wonders is no parental on-course advice, so it all had to be his own golfing decisions.

The final was played over Saturday and Sunday with two rounds of the same 9 holes on each day. The weather was unfortunately the worst they have experienced at a Wee Wonders Final in 30 years, strong winds with gusts of 60mph and rain that felt like hail. The top lady golfers in the world, 8 of which are former Wee Wonders Winners, were struggling in these conditions over at St Andrews. As George plays golf on the east coast, he says wind and rain is no pain. The greenkeepers worked all day every day on the course and were proud to say it was at British Open standard. The greens were so fast that anything above the hole was almost impossible.

George was paired with a boy from Carnoustie for the first round and played a steady first 9 holes shooting 36, after a bit of a break he then came out and shot a 33. An opening 69 in which George avoided the bunkers and only 3 putted twice gave him an 11-shot lead going into Sunday.

George thought Sunday was going to be comfortable but that was far from it. The leaders go out last and George was paired with a boy called Louis from Ireland who was the best 6-year-old he has ever played with. George also picked up fans, and there was a large number of locals following the group which added a little pressure. Louis from Ireland made up 4 shots on George in the opening 5 holes and George was feeling the pressure but a great 3 at the tough 6th and a steady last three holes of the front nine kept George 10 clear shooting 36. George played flawless over the remaining 9 holes shooting 35 to win by 10. He finished in style in front of a large gallery with a great putt on the final hole for a 3, he then ran to hug his Mummy. Rounds of 69 and 71 are the lowest on record for the 6&U category.

There are a few famous former Wee Wonders, Tommy Fleetwood, Tyrrell Hatton, Robert MacIntyre, Charley Hull, Leona Maguire, Eddie Pepperell, Aaron Rai, Matthew Fitzpatrick and George is really happy to be a Wee Wonders Winner.

George now has invites to the European Junior Finals next May and the big one for George is an invite to represent GB & ‘Yorkshire’ at the US Kids World Junior Finals at Pinehurst California next August, to see how his skills compare to the best juniors in the world. He can now also say he’s Britain’s number one 6-year-old golfer.
