Mon, 1st May 2006 In mid-April, the Junior Algarve versus Andalucia match was held on successive days on a home-and-away basis. The format for the 10-player mixed boy and girl teams was match-play with two foursomes and six singles matches, and after the first day at the Vilamoura Millennium course the scores were level on 4 – 4. It seemed that home course advantage would lead to victory for the Spanish youngsters at Isla Canela which is a course in Spain. Incredibly the second days play ended in another tie and the teams were locked on 8 points each. The match was therefore decided by a sudden-death play-off and Joao Carlota for the Algarve team - which incidentally comprised of only juniors from Vilamoura - beat Oliver Ruiz at the first hole. |
