Tony Menai Davies was on hand to present the trophies and to congratulate everyone on their performances. In the Under 15’s, 13 year old Jonny Ellis shot 36, as did defending champion Mikey Campbell who narrowly missed out on a countback. Shanil Shah came third with 37.

In the under12’s, Callum Jackson shot 38, Oli Fong came 2nd with a 40 whilst Sam Sherwood came 3rd with 42. In the under 9’s, in what was one of the performances of the day, 8 year old Luke Jansen shot a 36 with Curtis Whitelegg in 2nd place with a 40. A great effort from 6 year old Callum Jackson saw him into 3rd place with a 50.

Jonny Ellis became Rookie Open Champion 2009. However, nobody went home empty handed as all competitors were presented with a trophy.
