The Mortimer Ubiquitous Golf Society (MUGS) hosted this event for the fifteenth consecutive year and, with home advantage, BB & O raced to an early lead in most of the foursomes and maintained that lead to lunch with what seemed like a comfortable advantage. However, a spirited fight back by Surrey in the afternoon singles clearly showed that the advantage was not comfortable.
Jordan Mann (Sand Martins) and George Abbott (The Oxfordshire) both held comfortable leads in their singles matches but, in every other match, BB & O could easily have lost. A trip up the eighteenth for Jake Canning (Stoke Park), Findlay Ingram (Calcot Park) and George Munsey (Frilford Heath) saw a return of two and a half points which secured victory for BB & O when Jordan Mann and George Abbott secured early victories. The final match, which looked like it could be the decider, ended as a half when James Foster (Newbury & Crookham) won the hole with a solid par.
The result of these matches over the past fifteen years is BB&O 8, Surrey 7 |
