A late change of opponents did not detract from an enjoyable match

Under 14s enjoy match at Eaton

Cheshire Under 14 boys kept up their busy schedule of matches with a home encounter with Shropshire and Herefordshie at the top class venue of Eaton Golf Club.

This match should have been played against Caernarvonshire's U14s,however, with only 10 days to go, they cancelled.!

Fortunately in that small window, S&H came to the rescue.

A message of thanks has gone to their Manager Dave Jones and his cohort, Carl Steventon.

Cheshire Team manager Graham McCormack reported: “Technically we lost 5-4 today, however, we helped S&H with two of our squad players to make up their numbers, one won and one lost, so...I'm happy to call it a draw!

“For once we received several shots, as we were playing S&H's U16s team.

“A handful of their team recently played in the Four-Counties at Coxmoor Golf Club, Notts, beating our U18s squad on the first day.

“For those of you who lost, bear that in mind and use the experience to your advantage -similar handicaps, but...with two or three years extra experience.

“Special mention goes to Cormac (Narey) who had to give away nine shots today.

“Although you lost on the last hole we're very proud of your achievement, you had a mountain to climb and you nearly did.

“S and H got off to a flier winning the first three games then we hit back by winning the next three with Alfie Dunbar (Heswall 4/3, Charlie Thompson (Styal) one up and James Harrison (Astbury) 5/3 doing the business.

Cruz Norton (Northenden) playing for S and H beat Finlay Read (Lymm) 2/1 but Henry Quinn ((Disley) won 4/3 to level the scores before Comack Narey was unlucky to lost the last game one down>

“A message of thanks has been sent to Eaton, super hosts of this event today, played on a superb course.

“Addionally, I'd like to thank parents for their on-going support and my colleagues, Jim (McBride and Mike (Jones) and our pro, Matt Turnock.”
