(Duabi, UAE) – The Dubai Duty Free Junior Medal Championship got underway again this week after a long summer break. This series has become very popular since its introduction back in October 2013, and has had a hugely positive start again in 2015. This event welcomed a healthy field of competitors and again this month participants form the Dubai Creek Junior Development programme. With all of the juniors fresh from a long summer break, they were eager to get out and compete in the hope of gaining some all important order-of-merit points as the series draws to a close.
