BELMONT Juniors enjoyed a successful weekend in Herefordshire and Shropshire Junior competitions.
They claimed runners-up spot in the Handicap League event at Ludlow and Gregg Morgan went one better to win the Junior Matchplay Championship over two days at Telford.
He defeated Dominic Bagnall, of Wrekin 2 and 1 in the 36-hole final to become the first player to win the competition twice. Morgan had previously taken the title as a 14-year-old in 1998.
After qualifying for the quarter-final stage through his performances in previous competitions, he saw off the challenges of firstly Joe Jones, of Oswestry, 4 and 3, and then Matt Holyhead, of Shifnal, 2 and 1, both over 18 holes.
Belmont defeated Hawkstone Park 4-2 to reach the Handicap League final at Ludlow but found Patshull Park too much of a handful and lost three-and-a-half to two-and-a-half. The team members were Simon Welsh, Richard and Willie Lloyd, Andrew Lambert, Carsten Evans and Lee Wilson.
