ESSEX BREAK HERTS TO WIN CHESHUNT SALVER

STAPLEFORD ABBOTTS -- Essex boys won back the Cheshunt Salver in stunning form when the under 18s and under 16s comprehensively beat Hertfordshire under 18s.

Essex won the morning foursomes 4 to 2 in dry and windy conditions, with contributions by both under 18 and under 16 players. The afternoon singles was even more impressive, winning 8 of the 12 singles matches and halving 3 matches.

Two players gained their first county colours. George Evans, of Wanstead, achieved the biggest win margin of the day 5 and 4, while Harrison Ellis, of Romford, managed to halve his match with a very experienced Marcus Fox of Herts.

Team captain Jay Beisser, of Rochford, collected the trophy from Terry Trude, President of the Hertfordshire Golf Union. Essex Under 18’s team manager, Mike Hart, said: “This was the first match of the season. “Historically winning the Cheshunt Salver promises a good season ahead for a very strong Essex Boys squad for 2009.”
