BB&O win against Essex

Ashberry & Birdseye matched that result with a win. In the final match, Freeman & Lawson were down early but won 3 of the next 4 holes before winning the 16th to go dormie 2 up. However, the Essex pair birdied the 17th and a fantastic up and down at the last saw the BB&O pair win 1 up.

So, a fantastic morning session saw the County lead 4 – 0 at lunch time.

In the afternoon singles the weather provided a mixture of cloud, sunshine and rain. The County were down in 4 of the top 6 games and all square in the other 2 but were leading in the final matches after 7 holes. Eventually after losing the top match, the next 3 matches all turned in the County’s favour, with Adam Birdseye holing a 40ft putt on 18 to win his match 1 up. Match 5 & 6 were lost, but 7 & 8 were both won. The Winners were Huggins, Langley, Birdseye, Lawson & Freeman, with Gough, Browne & Ashberry unfortunately losing their matches.
