Despite the Channel Islands being part of our County, the annual fixture between the Channel Islands and Hampshire Men’s team always carries a healthy sense of rivalry — friendly, yet fiercely competitive.
This year’s match was played in Guernsey, where both teams enjoyed excellent hospitality and challenging conditions. Hampshire fielded a younger team than usual, giving several emerging players valuable experience at this level. Despite their enthusiasm and determination, the hosts made the most of their home advantage, producing some fine golf to secure a well-deserved 8.5 – 3.5 victory over the visiting mainland side.
Many of the matches were closely contested, with Hampshire showing plenty of promise for the future. The fixture was played in great spirit, highlighting the camaraderie and mutual respect between the two sides.
Although the scoreline went in favour of the Channel Islands, the experience gained by Hampshire’s younger players will prove invaluable as they continue their development and look ahead to future county matches.

Hampshire Golf reached the Challenge League Final for the third successive year but were narrowly beaten by a strong Essex side in a nail-biting contest that came down to the very last putt.
After a competitive morning session, Hampshire trailed 2.5–1.5 following the foursomes but battled back superbly in the afternoon singles with wins from 3 of the first 4 matches. The match remained on a knife edge after that, with Essex rallying a response in the back half of the draw.
In the end, the title was decided on the final green of the final match, where Essex edged out Hampshire by the narrowest of margins as our opponent holed a 5 foot putt for par which was good enough to take the title.
Despite the defeat, Hampshire can take great pride in another impressive campaign, going unbeaten in the league stage before reaching the final for the third consecutive year and once again demonstrating the depth and spirit of the squad.
A huge thank you to all of the Squad and our Captain, Harrison Pake for all of his effort and dedication to the team.
