Gloucestershire U14s struggled away at Brynhill on Friday 30th May against Glamorgan loosing 12.5 / 2.5.
The Gloucestershire boys found the competition just too good for them but will undoubtedly learn from the experience.
Tom Cousins (Henbury) and Mike Downey (Cotswold Hills) performed very well to take the only win in the morning foursomes 6&5.
In the afternoon Jamie Dick (Forest Hills) won 2&1 and Mike Downey fought back from dormy 3 down to half his game - the second time in two matches he has saved a dormy game.

Gloucestershire U18 team return to winning ways
The Gloucestershire Junior team returned to winning ways against Wiltshire on Tuesday 27th May in their Junior Channel League match at Chipping Sodbury, winning 11-4.
It was a new look Gloucestershire junior side with England U16 internationals Chris Lloyd and Adam Carson missing due to exam revision and three other top players including team captain Kyle Trewin unavailable due to work commitments. It gave an opportunity for three uncapped players that won their places via the Junior County Championships to show their talent. All three performing very well.
Gloucestershire dominated from the start with a decisive 4-1 win in the foursomes followed up by some superb golf in the afternoon to close the match off.
