Berks Bucks & Oxon Golf
BB&O
Burhill Golf Club was a terrific venue for this annual match and the Surrey team were most hospitable. The weather threatened to be squally but in reality it was not a factor in this very close match.
After the morning foursomes the BB&O team had a slim lead with excellent results from David Langley and Jordan Williams at the front. The pairing of Ben Beach and Jake Dines also had a strong win and the well established partnership of Chris Little and Max Nicholls did their stuff as usual. The afternoon singles were a very mixed affair with some incredibly tight matches and some very big wins on either side. David Langley, playing at Number 1 showed no signs of fatigue after his excellent results in the recent 72 hole McEvoy Trophy and he despatched his man comfortably - having always been in control of his match.
Unusually both Ben Beach and Jordan Williams suffered heavy defeats but George Bell and Tim Shin romped to equally large victories. So having won three of the top five we were hopeful of back-to-back wins against Surrey. Sadly, of the remaining five players, only Max Nicholls was able to win his match whilst Harry Collins fought hard for a half leaving the match tied overall seven and a half points apiece. Max Nicholls and Harry Collins have so far retained their unbeaten record in singles match play this season - a superb performance from them both.
Well done also to David Evans who joined the Elite Squad for his first match and put in a very disciplined and solid performance. David has 3 more seasons with the Elite Squad and along with the other younger members will undoubtedly have a very successful County career.
The team will have a month to work on their game now before playing Bedfordshire on June 2nd and the Six Man Team a few days later.
