Report Bedford Home match
Final 2023 league match took place versus Bedfordshire at Thorpe Hall Golf Club on Sunday 10th September. One of the hottest days of the year
Essex team as follows: - Dominic Piccolo, Jack Boyd (Thorndon Park). Shay McQueen (Brentwood). Harry Moncur (West Essex). Joe Smith (Abridge). Alan Sharrocks (Colchester). Max Maddocks, Toby Peters (Thorpe Hall).
Two players in the Challenge Team squad for the first time – Alan and Toby. Max and Toby both junior players from the home club and both proving to be great assets. Alan a most welcome strong addition to the squad. Challenge Team Captain, Bradley Coombes, away playing for Orsett in the Thornton Cup final.
Most of the Beds team played a practice round on the Saturday, seven of the Essex players giving it a miss as several of them had been playing in the heat on Friday at the Romford Trophy.
The Beds Manager had had last minute drop outs and he also had a couple of juniors playing. In the previous away match five of today’s Essex players had played and three of the Beds team.
Morning Foursomes: Started at 8.30 and even then, it was hot!
Dom and Alan led the way and after hole 6 all four pairs were up. Shay & Harry by 4, Dom & Alan and Jack & Toby by 2, and Joe & Max by 1. A good strong start.
After hole 11 Shay & Harry were dormy 7 up and went on to an impressive 8&6 win – Last pair out, first pair in. Hole 12 both pairs Jack & Toby and Dom & Alan 4 up and went on to win 5&4 and 5&3 respectively. Joe & Max still playing – keeping their 1 up lead throughout and finishing on the 17th – 2&1. Foursomes: 4 – 0
Afternoon Singles:
Played in eight singles matches, which was great for the players being so much quicker in the continuing heat, in the same order as the morning. After hole 5 Essex were up in six, down in two. Hole 12 saw am outstanding win of 8&6 by Toby. Not far behind came Shay 5&4. Three matches went to the 15th – Jack winning 5&3, and Dom and Max both 4&3. Max played the same Beds player as had met in the away match – Kyle Faulkner must have hoped for revenge but it was not to be.
Three matches to go – Harry finished on the 17th 2up. Alan and Joe went to the 18th. Alan 1up, Joe 1down. Singles: 7 – 1 Total: 11 – 1
Beds were a charming group of players and warmly congratulated the Essex Team
Four matches played, four matches won, Essex will now play Hampshire in the South East England Final at Mill Hill on 15th October
Good Luck Team
