Junior golfers at Ashburnham enjoyed a busy week of events during the school half term.
Luckily, the course seemed to miss most of the poor weather and the juniors took full advantage to enjoy a full week of action.
The busy week was rounded off in great style when boys and girls from across Dyfed took part in the inaugural County Boys versus County Girls competition.
A powerful visiting team from Kent, Prince's & Royal Cinque Ports Golf Club, Sandwich, were too strong for a young and developing Ash team and recorded a 2.5-0.5 away win.
Ben Thomas and Dan Brice combined to claim a half point for Ashburnham.
The Ashburnham junior team was Jordan Davies, Aled Greville, Ben Thomas, Daniel Brice, Josh Morris and Osian Bowen.
Autumn Trophy results: 1st Dylan Stimson (47pts); 2nd Jack Holland (40pts, back 9); 3rd Jordan Davies (40pts).
Red Tee competition (15 holes): 1st Ryan Owens (34pts); 2nd Ellis Thomas (30pts); 3rd Joe Francis (28pts, back 9).
Juniors & Seniors Texas Scramble (15 holes): 1st Norman Edwards, Rhys Morgan, Morgan Hand; 2nd Ken Gray, Dylan Stimson, Ellis Thomas; 3rd Gary Williams, Ben Thomas, Ryan Owens.

Ashburnham hosted the inaugural county boys v girls match which saw the boys run out winners by five points to two.
The girls' points were scored by Sara Rees Evans and Sophie Lovett. The boys claimed overall victory courtesy of wins by Luke Harries, Elis Lewis, Billy Truman, Jordan Davies and Jack Harries.
More than 30 girls from Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire took part in a junior golf festival at Ashburnham during the week.
Girls, some as young as seven, took part in a variety of formats, including a 36-shot and 54-shot competition.
Ashburnham boys also joined in the event and played a mixed greensome foursome competition with the girls.
The results were as follows:
15-hole mixed greensome foursomes: 1st Rhys Morgan & Emma Hughes (Carmarthen ) 85 gross; 2nd Owain Williams & Eva Bowers (Machynys) 91 gross; 3rd Morgan Hand & Emily Joel (Machynys) 95 gross; 4th Kris Jones & Megan Jones (Glynhir) 99 gross.
