Honours Even at Disley — Cheshire 9, Lancashire 9
Monday 24th August saw some of the most promising young golfers from Cheshire and Lancashire come together at Disley Golf Club for the annual Mixed Age Match, featuring players from the Under 16, Under 15 and Under 14 squads.
Cheshire made a flying start in the morning foursomes, winning three of the opening four matches, before a strong Lancashire fightback left the scores level at 3–3 at lunch.
The afternoon singles produced some excellent golf and plenty of drama. Wins came from Tom McCann, Max Gilsenan, Shane Clayton, Austin Eastwood, Jeremy Ju and James Priest, while Jack Walker secured a valuable half with a brilliant birdie putt on the 18th.
With the match finely balanced, seven of the 12 singles went all the way to the 18th green. Young Harvey Eastwood, making his first appearance, played superbly but was denied a half by a Lancashire birdie at the last.
The final result: Cheshire 9 – Lancashire 9 — a fitting outcome to a superbly contested match.
Coach Peter Barber praised the whole team for their performances, while Team Manager Andrew Henshall thanked the players, parents and supporters whose commitment makes these matches possible.
A great day of junior golf and plenty to be excited about for the future.
