Mens first team Seacroft Foursome 2025 Report
The Bedfordshire Mens team made the annual trip to Skegness to contest the 2025 version of the Eastern Inter County Foursomes, against 8 other counties in the region, played at Seacroft GC.
Eleven players were selected, with debuts at the event for Kyle Faulkner, Luke Charalambous, Adam Northfield, Joe Kirby and Jon Marlow who joined Scott Armitage, Rob Sutton, Ryan Craig, Jordan White, Rob Brightman and Fraser Jamieson, who had all experienced this unique challenge of 72 holes of foursome golf on the challenging links course. The weather for the weekend was mostly overcast, with some sun but decidedly chilly with a north-easterly breeze gusting to 25-30 knots at certain times over the two days. Nonetheless, the Beds team were hot off the blocks and the Saturday morning session yielded 7 (out of possible 10) points against Norfolk and BB&O. The lunch break seemed to slow this momentum and a disappointing afternoon return of only 2 points against Suffolk and Essex left the team placed in 7th .
Sunday morning’s match up saw Northants and Lincs as the opponents and a battling performance saw 5.5 points achieved. The final session against Leicestershire & Rutland, and near neighbours Cambridgeshire produced some more quality golf and a final return of 6.5 points to see a final team aggregate of 21 points. This was good enough for 5 th place and only 3 points behind the winners Lincs with Suffolk finishing second on 23, and Leicestershire & Rutland third with 22.5.
A great weekend of golf and a true team effort with every player competing in at least 3 sessions, and all players returning points for the team. Notable mentions for the new pairing of Ryan Craig and Kyle Faulkner who returned 6 out of 8 points, and also to Luke Charalambous and Jordan White with 5 points. Overall, a great weekend of golf
highlighted by tremendous team spirit, commitment and resilience; also a huge thank you from the Mens Management team to the County support provided by Dave McGarry, Suky Sehmbi and David Hawkings.
