GOLF

WEST Essex Golf Club duo Ross Spurgeon and George Castle were in excellent form to help the Essex U21s secure a notable victory over Romford Golf Club.

The county colts were in excellent form to see off the hosts' Thornton Cup team 5.5-12.5.

Spurgeon and partner Jack Winter secured a two and one victory in the morning foursomes, while team-mate Castle and his partner Rhys Burden won their match four and three.

That score was repeated by Surgeon in the single, while Castle won his match four and two, as Essex swept to a convincing victory.
