Challenge Team Final
Essex V Hampshire at Mill Hill Golf Club on Sunday 15th October.
Hampshire are a very positive and strong County, so a tightly contested match was expected. With no age restrictions both teams had one or two young players.
Mill Hill Golf Club – a tightly wooded course on the border of North London and Hertfordshire. Founded in 1927, only four years to go to their Centenary. None of the Essex team had played this course before.
Morning Foursomes:
An early start as days are now drawing in. Bright and sunny but a cold wind.
Pair 1 - Oliver Allison and Oliver Baker (Colchester)
Pair 2 - Shay McQueen (Brentwood) and Dominic Piccolo (Thorndon Park)
Pair 3 - Cousins Harry and Timmy Moncur (West Essex)
Pair 4 – Team Captain Bradley Coombes (Orsett) and Toby Peters (Thorpe Hall)
A team of 8 players, from 6 different Essex clubs.
After hole six, Pair 3 were the only Essex pair up. Hole ten, the situation was the same. Hole 13 and Hampshire’s 2nd Pair had an excellent win of 7&5. Come on Essex! Then the Hampshire 4th pair followed with a 6&5 win. Again – come on Essex! And they did. The Moncurs, Pair finished 5&4 and finally the Olivers, Pair 1 went to the 17th to win 3&1.
Foursomes 2 - 2
Afternoon Singles:
Essex played in the same order as they had in the morning. Hampshire changed their order so all but three players were meeting someone new. The Moncurs were each against one of the pair they had beaten in the foursomes and Brad against one of the morning pair he had lost to – so all to play for.
Olly A out first and off to a good start 3up after seven holes. Shay was then 1up and Brad 2up, with Dominic and Ollie B both all square. Match so far looking quite even. After hole 11 we were just in the lead, but a long way to go.
Our leader, Olly A then finished with an excellent 6&5 win – he had never looked like losing.
All the rest of the field looking as if they could easily go to the 18th. Players 2 and 3 did, Ollie B finishing all square and Shay beating the Hampshire team captain 1up.
Five matches still to finish – all square in two and down in three. Harry in match 5 never more than 1up went to the 18th and maintained his 1up to win. Essex now had 3½ of the 8 points.
Two matches to go and Brad, last player out, a beautiful drive on the par three 16th, a gimee birdie led to a 2&1 win. Young Toby had the final match of the day, on the 18th, finishing all square.
Singles: Essex 5 – 3 Hampshire
Match Result: Essex 7 – 5 Hampshire
A very tight match as expected, played in a good spirit by all. A first for our Challenge team matches – no rain. Congratulations to Brad and his team
