CHESHIRE Boys Under 16s showed their power as they cruised to a big win over their counterparts from Staffordshire at the testing Alsager course.
The team’s intent and class shone in the Foursomes as they won all five games to storm into an impressive 5-0 lead
Lucas Kuiper (Stockport) and Harry Kell (Sandiway) set the tone with a 4&3 victory which was followed by wins from Cole Self (Ringway) and Aaron Lavelle (Royal Liverpool) 4&3, Ben Buchanan (Crewe) and Aaron Cullen (Royal Liverpool) 6&4, Ellis Courtnell (Ringway) and Lawson Yates (Ringway) 4&2, Louis Rickett (Eaton) and Jasper Hughes (Wilmslow) 3&2 and Will Furness (Ringway) and James Clark (Sandiway) also 3&2.
