Junior County Week History
History
Until 2008, the best junior players from Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire, Hertfordshire and Oxfordshire came together to play in an inter-county round-robin competition played in conjunction with a Team Stableford. With the advent of the new EWGA regions in 2009, Hampshire and Hertfordshire were now longer in our region. However Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire have continued with this popular event in conjunction with Hertfordshire.
