Haroon Aslam continued his accurate and good Golf to defeat the technically correct, pleasant K. Danushan 2 and 1 in a tense final of the Gold Division Boys, to claim the title of Junior Boys Champion 2022 on Friday.
Haroon was three up on Dormie playing the 16th hole, but Danushan fought back to win the 16th with a Birdie under pressure. However, Haroon kept his cool and halved the 17th to win the title, just before his departure to the United States to further his studies combined with the advancement of his Golf as well.

Reshan Algama defeated Jacob Norton quite easily 5 and 3, to annex the Silver Division of the Junior Golf Championship.
In the Bronze division final Thejas Rathis Kanth romped to an 8 and 7 victory over Saqeeb Zuhar.
In the age group category of 9+ and under, the Copper Division, the smiling Yuvan Rathis Kanth beat Danik Daluwatte 5 and 3 over an extended 14-hole final.

The P&S Bakers Group was well represented by Rukmini’s senior most sister Shan Perera, another sister Srima Senevirathne, Avishka Perera, Jith Senevirathne, Ruvini Kariyawasam and M. Jaimon.
