NOTICE BOARD

Dorset Girls v Canford Magna Girls Tuesday 5th August

Weather lashing down!  It was decided to run with match as girls were there and kitted out.

We had to borrow 1 girl and Dave Cooper loaned us Fran Young.   The pairings for the g'somes were

Hayley Davis h/c 1 Junior Captain and Fran Young 12 gave 7 shots to
Melanie Buxton Canford Junior Capt h/c 5 and Lizzie Turner 21.    Result Hayley/Fran won

Georia Hall h/c 4 and Sianelle White 28 gave 6 shots to
Alice Davis 20 and Chloe Stanley 23.   Result a halved match

Lucy Walters h/c 23 and Lucinda Tindle 17 gave 6 shots to
Danni Bradly 23 and Sarah Webb 29.    Result Lucy/Lucinda won

the last match was a singles - Sophie Keech 10 h/c (recently returned from Portugal for the summer with a handicap of 17 and in a month has managed to get down to 10) against Alice Young 18.   The result was a win for Sophie.

All the matches were very close and played as if they were playing for the same team as they usually do and all seemed to have plenty to talk about whether golf or not but when it came to the last few holes there was no quarter given with galleries on both sides egging everyone one.
Canford Magna looked after the girls very well with sandwiches chips and drinks afterwards and we have set the date for the same time next year for another match.

Serena Bosch of Weymouth comes fourth in the Abraham Trophy.
