ENGLISH GOLF UNION:
GREWAL CALLED UP TO FACE SOUTH AFRICA

Sandeep Grewal, winner of the West of England Championship earlier this month, will make his senior international debut against South Africa at Formby on 1 June.

The 18 year old from the Heswall club in Cheshire, came from a long way back to take the title at Royal North Devon and is rewarded with a place in the four-man team to face the Springboks in the one day international.

Grewal, a member of the England training squad, is joined by Richard McEvoy, Nick Dougherty, and David Griffiths who all played major roles in England’s victory over France at Chart Hills this month.

Essex based McEvoy (Thorpe Hall) emerged with a 100% record from three matches on his England debut, while Griffiths was also unbeaten, securing three wins and a half in his four outings.

Dougherty (Shaw Hill), who also made his debut against the French, suffered one defeat in four matches but played a big part in England’s 17.5 – 6.5 victory.

The match at Formby will consist of two foursomes and four singles.  The reserve is Tom Whitehouse (Maxstoke Park) while Malcolm Lewis will captain the team.

The South Africa line up will be Dean Lambert, Richard Sterne, Jaco Van der Merwe and Jaco van Zyl.
