SEVERAL young players from Broadway Golf Club helped Gloucestershire Jun-iors to victory in the opening match of their defence of the Junior Channel League.

Somerset were the visitors to Kendleshire GC earlier this month when the home county recorded an emphatic 11-4 triumph.

Ed Kennedy and Chris O'Hagan teamed to win their foursomes match 2 & 1, while Peter Steadman partnered Joe Campbell in a 5 & 4 success.

Kennedy completed a marvellous afternoon with a 3 & 1 singles win. O'Hagan halved his match but Steadman went down 4 & 3 to his opponent.
