Hayes & Zhou to represent SA at interstate series

Glenelg members Amy Zhou and Josh Hayes are set to represent their state in the upcoming Junior Interstate Series.

Story from Golf SA Website:

South Australia will field inexperienced junior state sides at April’s national Junior Interstate series in Western Australia, with six players due to make their representative debuts.

In the state Boy’s side, debutants Joshua Hayes (Glenelg), Colin Coleman (Grange), Billy Cawthorne (Echunga) and Patric Kroschel (Royal Adelaide) will join experienced team mates Jordan Bishop (Kooyonga) and Captain Anthony Murdaca (Grange).

The two inclusions to the SA Girls side are Grange Members Cassidy Evreniadis and Ella Adams who join Kristalle Blum (Grange), Acacia Curtis (Wirrabara), Amy Zhou (Glenelg) and Captain Rachel Taylor (Mt Osmond).

The Boys who claimed the national title in QLD in 2012, will be once again spearheaded by Anthony Murdaca, currently ranked the 10th junior in the nation. Murdaca has had a promising start to the 2013 season winning the SA Junior Amateur and SA Junior Masters both held in Jan.

Colin Coleman is also in solid form after winning the first SA Junior Open at Mt Lofty & Mt Osmond in December, he then gained valuable high level competition experieince, as our state representative at the Youth Olympics Festival in January.

Rachel Taylor, Cassidy Evreniadis and Kristalle Blum, have all tasted success this summer each winning a Junior Open title, while Acacia Curtis joined Coleman as our state representative at the Youth Olympics Festival.
