An Exciting finish saw our U18s come close to victory against Warwickshire.
Our opening league match of the season was one to savour in the glorious setting of Moor Hall Golf Club in Warwickshire.
The Worcs pairings set of in determined mood in the foursomes matches with 3 of the 4 pairs taking early leads, but the Warwickshire pairings battled back hard which meant all the games were close going into the final 6 holes, most of the matches could have gone in either counties favour. Unfortunately, Warwickshire pinched 3 of the 4 games with the only Worcs win coming from Harry Fall and Noah Wilson, who held their nerve and won their match 1 up.
Unperturbed the Worcs team still thought they could turn the match around after seeing the singles draw, again there was some tight matches with Captain Teddy Fee winning 2 UP and the impressive Harry Fall winning 4&3. Tom Gilbert also claimed his first U18s victory with a 4&3 win. Morgan Bowen and Callum Jones securing well earnt halves, which meant it came down to the final 2 matches left out on the course. Both matches were very tight and went down the 18th with Warwickshire coming out on top to earn the victory 7 points to 5.
It was a great spirited performance from the Worcs team who never gave up until the final putt was holed. We go again against S&H in our next match on 7th June.
I would like to thank Moor Hall Golf Club for making us extremely welcome throughout the day, the green staff for the presentation of the course, and the catering team for looking after us so well. I would like to congratulate Warwickshire and wish them well for the rest of the season.
A special thank you to all of our parents for taking and collecting the lads.
