The U18s squad travelled to Kent to defend the SE Foursomes title won last year. Hever Castle GC was the venue for this years tournament and the course was very dry just like everywhere in the South. The greens however were in perfect condition and were a credit to the green staff. The morning round was well underway when a flash of listening and clap of thunder, meant the klaxon was sounded and the players were brought back to the clubhouse. The weather meant an adjustment to the planned 36 hole event was needed.
The organisers decided to include 9 holes from the morning round and reduce the competition to 27 holes. This worked a little against us and meant we trailed Kent by 5 shots at the break. We had a lot of playing to do in the afternoon. Our first group out Mason Barningham & Oliver Baker had a strong finish to post a 75 and this was matched by group 2 Henry Styles & Ed Linley. This meant with two more groups out on the course we were now 1 shot ahead of Kent. With 3 out of the 4 scores to count, our final pairing of captain Will Horne & Micah Blowers were 1 under par with 6 holes to play and were grouped with the final pairing from Kent, so a matchplay type of situation was now in play. The Kent pair made a birdie on the 14th to put the teams level, but birdies on 16 & 17 from Will & Micah meant a comfortable par on the 18th gave us the victory.
It was a fantastic effort from all the boys in the afternoon, their concentration and smart play won the day and we managed to bring the trophy back to Essex. Well done to all and we look forward to our final league match of the season in a couple of weeks time where we hope to reach the SE League final.
