Many of our players fell behind early in their matches but showed great resilience to stage a comeback, finishing with three wins, three halved matches, and one loss \u2013 securing a hard-fought 4 1\/2 to 2 1\/2 victory against strong opposition.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"705\" data-end=\"927\">A special mention goes to Ethan Leighton, who was four down but battled back to halve his match, and to Alfie Ward, who hit a stunning second shot from 238 metres to just 10 feet on the 18th hole, securing a crucial win.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin:
