Result: MATCH HALVED - OAGS 7 : OACC 7
The annual end of season match between the OAGS and the OACC returned to Woking Golf Club on Saturday 20th October on a glorious autumnal day where we were treated to wall-to-wall sunshine.
Both sides played some excellent golf in the morning foursomes and it was proving to be a very close contest with the scores 3 ½ - 3 ½ at the half way stage. The closet matches included Alex Faulkner making birdie on the 18th to beat Mike Forsythe 1 Up, and Finbarr O’Connor & Philip Quigley eventually halving their match with Ed Graham & Cranley Macfarlane. It was good to see so many OAs, young and old, enjoying the excellent lunch but battle had to commence quite quickly afterwards to avail ourselves of the light.
The afternoon was a similar story with some brilliant golf played by both sides. Finbarr O’Connor & Chris Murphy were the pick of the pairings for the OAGS, winning 5&4. However, an impressive win for Ed Graham & Toby Fitzherbert for the OACC meant that the teams were level as the final match came down the 18th All Square. Cranley Macfarlane had a putt to win the match for the OACC but the ball just slipped by hole, meaning the match was halved for the first time and the teams shared the Brennan Cup.
