Haworth -based Will Whiteoak, a member at Bingley St Ives and Branshaw, was part of the Yorkshire team that won the English Boys County Championship at Cotswold Hills.

The former Oakbank School pupil helped his side get off to a great start with a 7-2 win over Hampshire, Isle of Wight & Channel Islands.

Whiteoak teamed up with Ben Brewster to win his foursomes 7&5 and then overcame Jack Stubbington 5&4 in the singles.

Yorkshire went on to beat Devon 6-3 and Staffordshire 7-2 to claim their seventh title success, although Whiteoak suffered two foursomes defeats and a one-hole singles loss to Devon’s Jacob Tinsley.

Captain and coach Steve Robinson said: “We have not won this title for some time, so to win it this year is important for the county.”
