Eastern Inter-Counties Foursomes 2024

Over the weekend of 18th and 19th May, Northamptonshire men's first team joined eight other county teams from the east of England at Seacroft Golf Club in Skegness for the annual Eastern Inter-Counties Foursomes.  Teams compete over 72 holes in foursomes matches playing two other counties in each match.  The weather was kind but a cold north wind that strengthened over the weekend made conditions increasingly difficult on the exposed and undulating links course.

At the end of day one Northamptonshire were tied in 4th place with Norfolk, both on 10 points.  having beaten Norfolk and Bedfordshire and lost close matches to Suffolk and Leicestershire and Rutland. 

On Sunday morning we beat Cambridgeshire but lost to Berks, Bucks and Oxfordshire.  The afternoon saw close losses against two of the strongest counties, Essex and Lincolnshire.  Lincolnshire,  on home territory,  finished up winners..

Northamptonshire finished 6th with 18 points and will take away many positives from some solid performances from both experienced players and debutants.

The full results are on the Midand Golf Union website.
