LORDS GOLF CLUB -- Essex and Kent shared the spoils when they played at Rayleigh on Saturday April 25, 2009.
The annual match, which is always fiercely competitive despite its friendly status, saw the teams come home with six points a piece.
Essex were the better team in the morning foursomes. Adam Burwood (Harwich) and Andrew Shakespeare (Five Lakes) finished 3 under par, with a good win too from Ross Spurgeon (West Essex) and Ross Dee (Orsett).
“Things were looking good for the Essex team, but we knew this young and talented Kent side would be fighting back, and they did,” said David Miller, County Captain and team manager.
After nine holes in the singles, Essex were down in seven of the matches. But with good wins from Jack Clarke (Chelmsford) and the inform Jack Winer (Woolston Manor) and great fight backs from Andy May (Boyce Hill) and Ross Spurgeon to get halves, the home side had a total of 5½ points, with two matches still on the course.
Down in both games, an excellent last hole win from new boy Perry Morgan (Woolston Manor) to get a half, saved the day and an overall 6-6 draw was the result.
Essex's unbeaten record lives on.
