L & R 1st Team Vs Warwickshire 26th June

L&RVLGA 1st Team Match Vs Warwickshire

Kirby Muxloe Golf Club Wednesday  June 26h 2024

Result 4/4

Another beautiful, sunny day at Kirby to greet the Warwickshire ladies. Many it seemed had played the course before which was in lovely condition.

I was on ‘captain duties’ and didn’t play in this match so had the pleasure of starting off all 8 matches. Warwickshire brought a strong team and Barbara Suffolk and Sally Lax lead L& R out as the first pair and narrowly lost 2 & 1.  Our 2nd pairing of Janey Heaney and Mel Walker turned the tables with a win and it would remain close throughout with our last two pairings of Jo Groome and Annette O Meara and Beverly Roebuck with Trina Tidmass bringing home wins for L & R to seal a draw.  The other pairing to win for L & R were Annie Martin and Lisa Morris.

There was a lovely, friendly atmosphere again as there always seems to be with these matches along with a bit of rivalry! We enjoyed a nice meal after play, even tho most were exhausted by the hot weather.  Many thanks to Kirby Muxloe GC for hosting this match.

Thank you as always to the L & R Ladies for playing, especially to those who helped me out again last minute.
