Norfolk’s Easton College won the annual English Schools Team Championship thanks to Luke Johnson and Doris Thomas.
Despite most teams having three players, Easton were reliant on Johnson and Thomas (pictured above) who duly delivered on Wednesday at Woodhall Spa’s Bracken Course.
Johnson was also the winner of the individual Stableford competition after firing 42 points, as the 9-handicapper enjoyed a fantastic gross score of 75, including a birdie and 14 pars.
2-handicapper Thomas picked up four birdies and eight pars as her 35 points helped Easton College to 77 points overall. With the top two scores of three players from each school counting, Johnson and Thomas’ haul was five points better than their nearest competitors, St Robert of Newminster, Durham, and Etonbury Academy, Bedfordshire (both 72 points).

Itchen's trio of Ben Cox, Joshua Potterton and Harry Naughton all impressed, with Cox firing a stunning 69 ( -4) which included an eagle on the 10th, landing him the individual title for the best score of the day.
