West Surrey duo claim foursome championship; U14s win SEG League final and SGU – upcoming dates

WEST SURREY DUO CLAIM FOURSOMES CHAMPIONSHIP

Friday 1st September saw 14 pairs battle it out for the Surrey Club Foursomes Championship.

The first day consisted of 36 holes foursomes stroke play with the top four pairs qualifying for the knockout stages the following day.

West Surrey was playing in amazing condition, with the greens unbelievable. After the first day, the qualifiers for the knockout stages were: 1st: Peter Crocombe and Max Stanley (Roehampton) – 147 2nd: Mark Davis and Archibald Wells (Guildford) – 151 3rd: James Boyle and Christopher Matthews (West Surrey) – 153 4th: Neil Manwaring and Stuart J White (Tyrrells Wood) – 154

The first semi-final of day two was Peter Crocombe and Max Stanley vs Neil Manwaring and Stuart White. This was a well fought match which saw Peter and Max hold a solid 3 & 2 victory to book their spot in the final. Match number two was Chris Matthews and James Boyle vs Mark Davis and Archie Wells. This was an extremely close match with Chris and James stealing the victory on the 19th hole.

The final was set to be an interesting match with both pairs posting low scores in the qualifying stage. Although, in the case, home knowledge proved vital as Chris and James sprinted to a 6 & 4 victory over Peter and Max.

Congratulations Chris & James!
