The draw for the finals of the County Scratch and Handicap Match Play, sponsored by Norwich Family Golf Centre, have been completed.
As is traditional, the winners of last year's competitions, together with the respective County champions and Boys champions, are seeded 1, 2 and 3 in each draw and will be joined by those players who finished highest in the Race to Bawburgh Order of Merit Tables.
In the Scratch, Harry Brister (seeded 1) will begin his defence against fellow Bawburgh member Jacob Jeary, whilst Amateur champion Sully Goddard (2) takes on Ryan Clarke. Meantime, Liam Caffyn (3), who won the Boys championship, will play Harry Bradfield and Warwick Calasse (4), who won the OOM, will start against Sprowston Manor team-mate Karl Diggens.
In the Handicap, defending champion Richard Abbs (1) starts against Darren Farman, and County champion - and OOM winner - Jack Johnson (2) is drawn to play Paddy Green. Boys champion Hugo Fisher-Briggs (3) takes on William Stursberg whilst OOM runner-up Andy Cranmer (4) is up against fellow Dunston Hall member James Martin.
