County boys make history

Northamptonshire’s boys qualified for the England Golf County Team Championships final for the first time in history after winning the Midlands qualifier at Trentham GC in Staffordshire.
In an event which has been going since 1982, the team of Luke Barney, Callum Farr, Tom Forster, Ben Jones, Fergus Robinson and Charlie Salter recorded a score of 748 to finish three shots clear of the home county, with Lincolnshire (761) in third.
Farr, who compiled the best second round of two-under-par 70, finished third in the individual competition as he nudged out team-mate Jones on countback on 146. England international Billy Spooner (143) led the way.
Northants will now play three 36-hole matches against the successful counties from the regional events in the North, South West and South East in the final at King’s Lynn GC in Norfolk on August 25-27.
