The Kent First Team had their first league match of the season on Sunday 12th of May away to Sussex at Copthorne Golf Club.
A blissful day of sunshine lay ahead of the First Team for this league match and looking to start the season on a high Kent got off to a good start with the first foursomes pairing of recent Kent Closed PGA winner Ben Quinney (Bearsted Golf Club) paired with Jensen Hull (Hever Castle Golf Club) winning their match 1up against Thomas Thurloway and Lewis Gurr. Secondly to extend Kent's morning points were Kent stalwarts Liam Burns (Chistlehurst Golf Club) and Mike Bush (Rochester and Cobham Golf Club) in a very well fought half against Steve Mitchell and Ashley Reeves. Kent's third pairing of Josh Bristow (Canterbury Golf Club) and Alfie Hickman (Langley Park Golf Club) had a tough match against Lee Drew and Steve Watts losing 3 and 2 to a great performance from Sussex. In the final foursomes pairing of Ed Richardson (Redlibbets Golf Club) and Charlie Hickling (Wildernesse Golf Club) narrowly losing out to George Goddard and Ollie Smith. Placing the score after the morning foursomes at Kent 1.5 - Sussex 2.5.
After lunch came the afternoon singles matches in which Kent were looking to close the gap on Sussex after the morning foursomes, starting strongly with Kent winning 3 of the first 4 matches with strong performances and placing Kent in a good position. However, after some superb Golf Sussex came back to win all 4 of the final matches in the afternoon session, placing the final score at Sussex 7.5 - Kent 4.5.
Many thanks to Copthorne Golf Club for their superb hospitality, and for both teams playing in such superb spirits after such a closely fought day of Golf.
