With the threat of thunder and lightening arriving in the afternoon we were keen t make an early start and hopeful we could complete the morning session in the dry.
With a very different team from the previous week, we had several players making their first appearance for the Challenge Team. Only Will Wright had played the previous week when he came in at the last minute to play against Middlesex. Again, we had late withdrawal but fortunately Will’s brother Lewis stepped in and was able to partner his brother in the foursomes.
Essex Team as follows: Sam Carter, Joe Dobbyn, Ben Horton, AndyMay, Shay McQueen, Tim Moncur (Captain) Lewis Wright, Will Wright.
Bedfordshire had won their first two matches against Middlesex, and we knew they would be a strong side. Looking at the team sheet it was apparent they had chosen three players who had earlier in the month played against the Essex Team. As anticipated the morning foursomes were close with three matches going down the eighteenth. However, Essex ended the session in a strong position with a three one lead.
Despite some rain in the afternoon, we manged to miss the torrential rain, thunder and lightning which struck most of Essex and completed all eight singles. Essex dominated the afternoon sessions winning seven of the eight singles.
There were many notable performances, and the standard of golf was excellent. Andy May, Sam Carter and Joe Dobbyn al defeated players who had previously played against the men’s First Team. All players contributed to an outstanding win.
A big thank you to Brentwood Golf Club who superbly hosted the event.
The game was played in superb spirit, and we look forward to the return match in August
