The first ever golf match between Island Schools and Hampshire Schools took place at Shanklin and Sandown Golf Club under the format of singles matchplay.

The team fought out a thrilling battle, and eventually could not be separated as the halved the match. The first match saw reigning IOW Junior Champion, Brandon Robinson-Thompson, against the runner up, Greg Hammond, with Greg winning 3 & 2.

The remainder of the matches swung both ways before coming down to the last match with Scott Meek playing the last 3 holes in 2 under par to halve with Conner Knight.

The match was a great success and it is hoped will become an annual fixture.
