Kent v Sussex at Seaford Golf Club on Sunday 10th May 2015
Kent’s season opener ends in thrilling win over Sussex.
On a beautiful day at Seaford Golf Club, Kent prevailed in a nail biting finish. Earlier in the day pre-season work on ‘foursomes play’ paid off with Kent taking a 3-1 lead into lunch.
Liam Burns and George Mullins produced a stellar performance, winning 5 &4 whilst the Freddie Price/Josh Bristow and Mark Collins/Dan Brown pairs held their nerve to win on the 18th.
With the greens holding yet running true and fast, Sussex were clearly revitalised in the afternoon singles producing some impressive attacking golf and Kent had to rely on their depth of experience to hold on to a narrow 6½ – 5½ victory.
Special mention should go to Dan Brown who won his singles 6&5, along with Freddie Price who both completed 100% wins.
Danny Jones also deserves special recognition, who held his nerve, executing a sublime chip on the 18th, to win the necessary half required in the final match to seal victory for the County.
