7 March 2010 - West Hove's Juniors donate £300 to 'Rockinghorse'
In keeping with the theme set by Club Captain Gordon Eaton and Ladies' Captain Jan Seabrook, our Juniors have chosen to support a children's charity by donating their
Dockerill's Junior Brighton League winner's prize of £300 to Rockinghorse. This charity, that makes life better for sick children in Sussex, is best known for its work with the Royal Alexandra Children's Hospital in Brighton.
In a letter to Ken Stafford, West Hove's Junior Organiser, the Rockinghorse's Community Fundraiser, Analiese Doctrove wrote "I would like to say a special thank you to Jonny Ingram who chose to donate the money to Rockinghorse, and also Malcolm Dockerill who kindly provides a fund for the top three teams in the Brighton Junior Golf League".

 

18 February 2010 - The Juniors win their first competitive match of the season
After one of the coldest and snowiest starts to the year for some while, our Juniors were pleased to be able to compete in their first match of the season against Singing Hills Golf Course. The match was played today at West Hove and the team of Ryan Stafford (captain), Jack Smith, Frankie Ingham, Robert Haggart, Alex Jago, Dean Waller, Tyler Hounsome and Jonny Ingram (who stood in at the last moment) won 4 - 0. Weather conditions were not good but credit goes to all involved for taking every match to the finish.
