The team consisted of captain Chris Crossfield, Brenda Lord, Sonja Strutt, Pat Messenger, Jennie Corbyn, Di Kedge and Kathy Sinnott.

They won by five matches to two.

The two lost matches were very well contested, on the 18th and 19th greens.

The weather was good and the course is improving, albeit very dry.

In second was Liam Leach, with 33, in third was Harrison Dove, with 31.
