Sam Raeside captures the Boys Mini-Tour Matchplay Title10/07/2008

Sam Raeside beat Euan Roger to win the Mini-Tour Matchplay competition in a final that had been re-scheduled from the previous week due to torrential rain on the planned date.

Although dry, the wind was extremely strong and at times both players struggled to cope in the blustery conditions.  That notwithstanding, both boys played some excellent golf though Sam was able to harness the wind slightly better than Euan and took an early lead which he never relinquished.

The competition was well supported and played on the Eden throughout which provided an excellent test for the competitors and resulted in some very close matches; particularly the semi-finals which were both decided on the final holes.

The Girls final was also postponed due to the weather and has been re-scheduled for Thursday 28th August; girls having much busier social commitments than boys.
