Alsager Golf and Country Club were excellent hosts in all aspects on and off the course for the Cheshire MA Boys team as they hosted Derbyshire.
The boys were a credit to themselves and the county as they conducted themselves impeccably throughout the day and played some excellent golf.
The opening foursomes got Cheshire off to a flying start with wins for Dan Barlow (Ringway) and Callum Woolley (Crewe) 4&3 and Reddish Vale’s Parkinson twins Luke and Cole backing this with a 5&3 win.
Derbyshire pulled a game back before the two point lead was restored by Max Gilsenan (Chorlton) and Jack Walker (Romiley) by 5&3.
Derbyshire showed their fighting spirit to win the next game before Josh Hockenhull (Prestbury) and George Bull (Disley) won 5&3 to give Cheshire a comfortable 4-2 lead at the lunch interval.
The afternoon singles saw Derbyshire reduce the lead in the opening match before big wins from Cole Parkinson 8&7, Callum Woolley 5&3 and Luke Parkinson 7&5 put Cheshire in control.
Further wins for James Woby (Alsager) one up, Max Gilsenan two up and Noah Alexander (Eaton), 2&1, Will Furness (Ringway) 5&3 and George Bull 6&5 took Cheshire home 8/4 in the singles and a final match score of 12-6 to keep up their great form showing the depth of talent throughout the age groups in Cheshire.
