BUDDING golfer Tom Stagg was part of England schoolboys' impressive autumn international series win over Scotland last weekend.

The Salisbury and South and Wilts member travelled to Rockliffe Hall Golf Club in Durham where he and his under 16s' teammates romped to a 17.5-7.5 triumph.

The match began with individual stroke play games which England won 7-3. This was followed by foursomes, England running out 4-1 victors, and by individual matchplay which England won 6.5-3.5.

Team manager Nick Over described the boys’ latest result as a solid performance.

Barclay Brown, James Cooper, Charlie Daughtrey, Michael Gilbert, Gough, Hugo Kedzlie, Callum Macfie and 16-year-old Stagg, who goes to Burgate School, will play Ireland at Castletown on October 8 and 9. Another win there, having already beaten Wales, will see them repeat last year’s record of three victories in these matches.
