SHERREARD TO COMPETE IN PRESTIGIOUS ORANGE BOWL
 Tom
Sherreard, the current England boy captain, has been selected
to represent the EGU in the prestigious 42nd Junior Orange
Bowl International Championship at Biltmore Golf Club at Coral
Gables, Florida on 27th-30th December.
The 18 year old from Kent is a blossoming talent and has
enjoyed a successful 2005.
Victory in the McEvoy Trophy at Copt Heath was followed by
selection for the World Boys Team Championships in Japan,
where England finished third, and for the European Boys Team
Championships in Italy. Back home, Sherreard finished runner-up
in the individual standings in the South East Boys Qualifying
at Bedford and ninth in the Carris Trophy at Moor Park.
As England captain, he led his side to a successful defence
of the Boys Home Internationals at Woodhall Spa and then represented
GB&I against the Continent of Europe in the Jacques Leglise
Trophy at Royal Porthcawl.
A few years ago, he was one of the first to emerge from the
restructured Kent coaching set-up and was a member of his
county's side that finished runners-up to Yorkshire in the
2002 Boys County Finals. He finished runner-up in the South
of England Schools Championship in 2003 and was capped that
year at under 16 level against Scotland and the England Girls
under 18 team.
It was second place again when Sherreard represented Kent
in the 2003 Boys County Finals at Copthorne, before he achieved
another runner-up spot, in the British Boys Championship at
Conwy last year.
A member of the Chart Hills club, he was recently named in
the England under 21 training squad for 2005/06.
The Orange Bowl is a premier under-18 event in the United
States and has separate boys and girls tournaments. Nick Dougherty
and Daniel Wardrop represented England in 2000, Steven Lewton
competed in 2001, Matthew Richardson and Michael Skelton played
in 2002, Daniel Denison in 2003 and John Parry last year.
