FALMOUTH pro Nick Rogers and China Fleet amateur Colin Kitt, who won the Perranporth Open Winter Foursomes in 2009, were knocked out of this year's event by Carlyon Bay pair Dave Saget and Ben Armstrong when the postponed third round was completed on Sunday.

The former champions went down by a 2&1 margin in a closely fought contest. Their conquerors will now face James Davidson (Perranporth) and former county champion Jon Coleman (West Cornwall), who went through courtesy of a 3&2 victory, in the quarter-finals.

Holder Porthpean professional Tony Nash and his amateur partner Glen Powell, of Truro, had an easy passage into the last eight thanks to a walkover, while the last lady player left in the competition Kim Mundy (Truro) and her clubmate Paul Martin eased through with a fine 5&4 victory.

In the Plate competition the Truro father and son partnership of Andy and Jared Mortimore defeated the 2006 winners of the main competition Gareth Evans and Peter Darlington (West Cornwall) 2&1 to go through to the quarter-finals.

The organisers are now hoping to catch up on the original schedule by playing both the quarter and semi-finals of the main and Plate competitions on Sunday, February 12.

Truro's Welsh international Rhys Enoch fired a second round one under par 71 to lie in a tie for eighth place after two rounds of the Sea Best Invitational at the famous Players Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass in Florida on Monday.

His steady second round included three birdies and just two bogeys. In the opening round he had also led his East Tennessee State University team's challenge with a 77 and he was hoping to improve his current position on the leaderboard in Tuesday's final round.

Enoch's latest performance came as no surprise as he was the most consistent member of the ETSU team season last autumn, leading with a scoring average of 73.8, which included four top 20 finishes in the five events in which he competed.

Two Cornish junior golfers achieved a remarkable double for the county when they scooped the top prizes in a prestigious tournament played in blazing sunshine on the fairways and greens of southern Spain nearly 2,000 miles away from their home town last week.

Sixteen-year-old Sam Church, who plays out of China Fleet, had two shots to spare in winning the boys' event at the Andalucia European Junior Open, while Sammie Giles, 17, of St Mellion, took the girls' prize for the second year in succession by an impressive seven-shot winning margin.

The pair's triumph was made even more remarkable as they both live in the same town, Saltash, and went to the same school, Saltash Community College. Sammie left the school last summer after taking her GCSEs, which Sam will be taking this year.

Sammie was never in danger of not winning this year's event, leading from start to finish and shooting the lowest round on each day of the competition. She opened with two 76s to make the cut for the final round where her 78 for a 230 aggregate total saw her to victory with seven shots to spare.

Meanwhile, in the boys' event Sam, who celebrated his 16th birthday during the competition, opened with a 75 and followed up with a 72 before shooting a final round of 73 for a total of 220 to complete a notable double.

Exeter's Chris Gill shot a brilliant four under par 67 to win the fourth event in the Cornwall and Devon PGA Winter Golf Series at Bude and North Cornwall last Friday.

China Fleet's Dominic Rehaag and Killiow's Richard Sadler shared second spot with one over par rounds of 72.

Sadler maintained his lead at the top of the Order of Merit with 32.5 points from Rehaag on 26 in what has become a two-horse race for the title.

The fifth in the professionals' six-event series will be held at Newquay on Friday, February 10 before the final meeting at Perranporth on Friday, February 24, after which the team to take on the Cornwall amateurs at Trevose on Sunday, March 4 will be announced.

The fifth and final event in this year's Cornwall Amateur Winter Golf Series will be played at Perranporth this weekend.

After the event, the team to take on the Cornwall and Devon professionals in the annual fixture at Trevose on Sunday, March 4, will be announced.
