HENLEY EARNS ENGLAND CALL FOR GREEK AMATEUR

Darren Henley, the 19 year old from the Stoneham Club in Hampshire, gains his first international honour when he represents England in the annual 72-hole Greek Amateur Championship at Glyfada on 30 September - 3 October.

Henley, surprise winner of the Berkshire Trophy in May, has had a string of successes this year including winning the Hampshire title at Brokenhurst Manor, topping the South East Qualifier over his home course and winning the Stoneham Club Championship. He is joined in the three-strong, all teenage team by Scott Godfrey (St Enodoc) and Simon Robinson (Seaton Carew), both of whom have enjoyed highly successful seasons.

Godfrey, 18, as a member of the victorious England teams in the World Boys Team Championship in Japan, the European Boys Team Championship in Sweden and the Boys Home Internationals in Wales. Robinson, 18, was also a member of the winning sides in Sweden and Wales and won both the European and World titles in the Junior Boys Championship in Scotland, which was formerly the Doug Sanders World Junior Championship.

The Greek title is currently in England hands, John Wells from Yorkshire having won the title a year ago by a shot on nine under par. There is also a Nations Cup decided over the first three rounds with the best two cards counting.

The team manager in Greece will be Tony Moss, an England selector.
