Outgoing captain Samantha Murray was unable to attend but had written a lovely letter to all the players which was read by Keeva Campbell and Molly Crocker.

Samantha thanked everyone for supporting her throughout the year by playing in so many competitions and how much she enjoyed the role of being junior captain at Portstewart.

In her letter she introduced the new Captain for 2022 as Jake Speers. This was welcomed with cheers and resounding applause. Jake responded by thanking everyone particularly all those who had helped during the season, Claire Hassan, Jeanie in administration, professional Neil and staff, grounds staff, and all those adults who had volunteered to walk the course . On behalf of the juniors he thanked convenors Neil Morrison and Moyra Gowland for organising the competitions and commitment to the development of Junior golf at Portstewart.
