WILTSHIRE under 18s have retained the English Boys' County Championship title.

The team narrowly pipped the favourites Yorkshire to the trophy by half a point.

Salisbury-based golfers Tom Stagg and Dom Burgess both featured in the seven-man team.

"We don’t do things the easy way," reflected manager Ian Welding from Salisbury and South Wilts Golf Club.

"This has been absolutely unbelievable and the whole team has been brilliant. Their team spirit has been fantastic and they have pulled for each other and supported each other.

“We had the belief that we could do it, even when it was nip and tuck and we were looking like we might come up short.”
