A Fabulous day for Finals Day

Lilley Brook Golf Club was bathed in fabulous autumn sunshine for the players today as they took part in GLCGA Finals Day.

The Winners of the Watson and Williams trophy, the County Fousomes trophies and the Runners-Up in the Mercia Castle Competition would all be decided today.

Alex Saunders and Su Worthington (Bristol and Clifton) got off to a slow start and found themselves 2 down, however, after winning 5 holes in a row they hung on to the lead in a keenly contested match to beat Claudia Ovens and Naomi Austin (Cotswold Hills)3 and 2 and win the magnificent Watson Williams Trophy.

In the County Foursomes competition, the Tewkesbury Park pairing of Marion Pollock and Christine Williams went ahead on the 5th and stayed up throughout the match, but Knowle ( Gill Smith and Julie Jones) pulled back and holes were won and lost until Marion chipped in on the 15th to put her pairing dormie 3. Knowle won the 16th but lost the match on the 17th hole.
