AIMEE PONTE is set for her maiden appearance at the England Amateur Championships.

The 16-year-old Guernsey and CI champion will join leading golfers from across the country at the King's Norton club in Worcestershire for the three-day event starting Tuesday.

'I can't wait,' said the local star, pictured, who warmed up for the championships by playing the Fairhaven Trophy event near Lytham last week.

The Fairhaven, near Lytham, is a mixed event and she just missed the cut.

Ponte, who celebrates her 17th birthday the day before she begins the start of her island championship defence, said she was not building up her hopes too much.
