Hampshire Colts took on Essex - the strongest Colts side in recent years, and who had beaten Hampshire in the 2021 North v South Final at Dale Hill, Sussex, in October 2021.

After a great start in the home match against Surrey (winning 9-3), team Captain Lawrence Cherry was optimistic about getting a positive result in the home match at Barton-on-Sea. Circumstances, unfortunately, resulted in a number of 1st choice players being unavailable for the game, so Cherry was left to play himself as well as drafting a number of last minute replacements.

The foursomes was played in the morning and ended all square at 2 -2.

All to play for in the afternoon singles. Although Hampshire battled hard the Essex side was just too strong and ended up winning the singles 5-3 - so winning the day overall by 7 games to 5.

Many thanks to all of those Colts who made themselves available to play - and congratulation to Lawrence Cherry who won both his foursomes match and then followed up with a 5 & 4 victory in the Singles.

The league is still very open - as Surrey - who had lost to Hampshire - had in fact beaten Essex in their match. The bottom line is that Hampshire can still win the League  - but will need their strongest side and win both of their remaining games. 

Many thanks to Barton-on-Sea for hosting this match - the course was in excellent condition and they looked after both sides very well.

The Seniors first League match was at Remedy Oak against Dorset. On a lovely day for golf, and despite some good individual performances and holding a strong position for much of the afternoon, the team could not hold on to the lead and Dorset came out on top winning by 6 matches to 4.

Whilst a very disappointing result, the team remain upbeat and determined to ensure we win our remaining games which will give us the opportunity to challenge for the league and qualify for the Final.
