West Hove comfortably progress

The 4-0 foursomes wipeout was a foretaste of what was to come.

Long hitting Tom Coulson took out Patrick Davey 9&8 while Steve Nielsen, Neville Hudson and 16-year-old Lewis Jackson all had wins of seven holes, while Chris Lind got home by 6&4 together with Mark Gully.

Neville Hudson, West Hove team captain, admitted: "We didn't know what to expect from Chartham. At the end we were a bit surprised."
