Victory booked Campsmount School pupil Hardaker's place in the national semi-finals of the Cadet Championship, to be held in Crawley on Saturday, with the finals taking place a day later.

Wilby Carr coach Col Boyle said: “Ashton trains three times a week in our gym in Cantley, travelling all the way from Norton.

“He passes four clubs on the way which shows how loyal he is to our club.

“He’s stuck with it to get to this point of the Schoolboy Cadet Championships and we’re all really proud of his efforts so far.”
