A NORTHALLERTON business has renewed its sponsorship with a young sports team for the 12th year running.

Romanby Golf Club Juniors continues to attract young people into the game and has a number of success stories thanks to the commitment of its staff and a long-running community partnership with Simon Bailes Peugeot.

The dealership is continuing as Romanby Golf Club’s main sponsor of its successful junior section which is helping dozens of young people to excel in the sport. Last year the club received England Golf’s GolfMark ‘High Achiever’ status in recognition of its commitment to junior golf.

Romanby works to attract more young people to the game, running coaching courses for six to 13-year-olds. In addition, the club runs taster sessions for local organisations including schools, scouts and girl guides groups.

Many of Romanby’s juniors have made local and national headlines, not least Lily Downs who recently qualified for the final of the Daily Express Junior Championship in Spain, which will be played later this year.

Dorothy Edwards, junior co-ordinator at Romanby, said: “The future is looking bright for Romanby Golf Club Juniors. We now have a new pro on board, Rob Lilley, who runs really popular coaching classes on Saturdays throughout the year. “
