Thongsbridge’s rising star, Barney Fitzpatrick, continues his run of superb form, with yet another mini orange (under 9s) title to add to his County and National titles. Competing in a high grade event in Sheffield, this promising youngster put in an excellent performance to secure the winner’s medal. He now sits in second place on the Master’s Leader Board, which will undoubtedly secure him a place in the “invitation only” top level National event at the end of the season.

14 year old Holly Horsfall travelled to Corby to represent Yorkshire with other top county players, to compete in the prestigious under 18s 12 Counties Event. Holly produced some solid wins, to help the County team secure a 4-0 win against Essex, and 2-2 draws with Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire. Yorkshire’s final standing in this event will depend on how all the other age groups, from under 12s to seniors do in the coming weeks, but, having won the 1st division last year, Yorkshire will be very much hoping to repeat the feat this year.

Georgia Draper has been in action in Lancashire, in a regional tour under 9s event, and managed a respectable 7th place in a tough field, with Lucy Margetson coming 8th.

Charlotte Margetson, playing in a match play event in Lancashire, was looking strong, and came 6th, losing out to stronger and older opposition.

George Barton has been getting plenty of match practice in, securing wins in Sheffield and Hull match play events, and taking 3 wins against challenging opposition in a Regional Tour Event in Hull.
