Kent’s senior men's team narrowly lost their first league match of the season to Surrey at Purley Downs GC by 5½ - 4½. The match was played in great spirit between the two teams in breezy conditions.
Danny Holmes (Rochester & Cobham Park) showed his England quality in the top match by beating former England player Ian Attoe 3/2 (picture attached). This was followed by excellent wins from Matt Jarvis (Rochester & Cobham Park) and Andy Francis (Bearsted).
James Jones (Wrotham Heath) on his County seniors debut had a comprehensive 4/3 win (also pictured).
Richard Tomlin (Sundridge Park) was unlucky only to get half a point, with 4 other games coming down to the 17th or 18th greens, but each going the way of the Surrey team.
Our thanks to Purley Downs GC for hosting the match and making us and our hosts from Surrey most welcome.
