Warwickshire Golf

Both teams arrived, the heavens had opened and we looked doomed to get soaked!  The hospitality of the Ullesthorpe Club House at this point seemed a much better option. The Captain’s ushered their somewhat hesitant players towards the first tee and play commenced.

Fortunately the rain abated after half an hour and although the wind increased in strength it was an accepted preference. Leicestershire started well with two good wins, Warwickshire fought back with the next 1 ½ points both achieved on the 18^th green, the closeness of the match becoming very evident. Marsha Button & Glenda Loram then won 3 / 2 followed by the best result of the day for us by Carol O’Hare and Jane Frith 4 / 3. Warwickshire had edged ahead 3 ½ - 2 ½. The final two matches also went right down to the wire but we were able to secure a further 1 ½ pts.

Lynne Jones, the Leics I Captain, had organized a super day; the course was in magnificent condition (beware the Ullesthorpe greens!) and we were looked after exceedingly well by the many staff, our thanks to them all.

Final Result: -  Warwickshire win 5 – 3

Colours were awarded to Jane Frith (Olton GC)
