U14 Boys v Essex and Hertfordshire report
Date published: 30 Jul 2024
This weekend saw the Kent Boys U14 team play their 2nd triangular match of the 2024 season, this time it was our home fixture at Rochester and Cobham Park GC, still in amazing condition after hosting The Open Qualifying a few weeks ago.
We fielded a very strong team with handicaps ranging from 0.1 to 9.7, but also knew that the visiting teams from Essex & Hertfordshire would be keen to try to get revenge for Kent's stunning victories at Knebworth last month.
That indeed was the case, with Essex fielding a strong line-up ranging from 3 -7, still smarting from Knebworth.
The day completely epitomised Kent's idea of Junior Team Golf, very competitive and some great battles out there, but all played in an incredibly friendly, fun, and supportive spirit, with both fellow team members and parents really getting behind their players, while also applauding the opposition teams' players on great golf shots (there were many), just as it should be...
With one more away fixture to play at Boyce Hill GC on 18th August, the results mean Kent have a very good chance of making the SE Final in September, which will be played at Abridge GC in Essex.
Many thanks to all the team members for their outstanding performances, we were very solid as a group at the weekend, and also to the parents for their amazing support.
We were very fortunate to have the U14 Head Coach Peter Parks with us for this match, his contribution on the day to the team cannot be overstated, he has been working with this team for a long time, and his insight was appreciated by all players. Cheers Peter!
