The International Circuit Schools (ICS) Tires Cobra Puma Junior Championship returned to Bermuda’s Ocean View Golf Course this week, drawing a field of young golfers from across the island. The event, held in a sunny Saturday heat, celebrated the achievements of standout Bermudian juniors in four age‑divisions.

In the 14‑18 boys’ bracket, Freddie Jones emerged victorious after a steady round that kept him ahead of his nearest competitors. Fletcher Logie finished second while Nathan Carreiro claimed third place. The 11‑13 boys’ division saw Lewis MacFarlane take the title, with Michael Hinwood coming in a close second.

Girls’ competition highlighted Darina Betschart, who secured the 14‑18 title, and Bradford Laing, who won the 11‑13 division, demonstrating the growing depth of female talent in Bermuda’s youth golf scene.

Community members and local sponsors praised the event’s role in nurturing home‑grown talent and fostering sportsmanship. Ocean View’s signature links provided a challenging backdrop for the young players, many of whom have trained at the course since childhood. Organisers announced plans to host the championship annually, hoping to build on the success and encourage more Bermudian youngsters to pursue the sport.

The tournament’s conclusion marked another milestone for Bermuda’s grassroots sports initiatives, reinforcing the island’s reputation for producing talented athletes on a global stage.
