Millennium Trophy Results 2024
This competition took place on home courses during May and support was down on previous years probably due to extreme weather conditions. Scores therefore varied but included the usual high scores. Thanks to all who entered and to the Reps for forwarding results and fees.

Gloucestershire vs Wiltshire
Report of Match 3 Gloucestershire away to Wiltshire at Broome Manor Golf Club Swindon.
Every player did enjoy the games except it was non stop rain, the greens did start filling up
And some of the fairways were getting waterlogged. All the ladies battled on to finish at 13th
hole which was the nearest to the clubhouse.
The result was a win for us Gloucestershire 41/2 to 3 ½ this was great well done all the players.
The meal was Sandwiches /Salad Quiche, and Homemade scones and cream
Lets hope that is the last wet day we get.

Warwickshire Vs Gloucestershire
Match Report Gloucs v Warwickshire 13th May 2024
A fantastic outing in reasonably good weather (we got in before the rain came!) to beautiful Edgbaston Golf Club to meet a very credible Warwickshire team who had playing handicaps of between 10 and 22 and were out to win!
Our team was represented by 10 clubs from across Gloucestershire with wide ranging handicaps – all of whom were playing this wonderful course for the first time. Considering 6 out of the 16 Ladies from Warcs were members at the host club we did really well to win this fixture by 5 games to 3 with some very hard fought games!
The meal of either lamb or risotto and a delicious cheesecake was much appreciated after our rounds – all seated in the beautiful clubhouse.
A really enjoyable day with great company. As one Gloucs lady commented “ I had not met my playing partner before and we really gelled; which is why these matches are so much fun”.
A big well done and thanks to everyone who played and I look forward to seeing you again soon.

Was a Win for Somerset 7-0
The weather was really kind to us and Stopped raining as we were ready to tee off it turned out to be
A very sunny enjoyable day, the food was very good and everyone had some hard- fought matches.
Everyone who played did have a really good time and enjoyed the course and the game of golf.
But Wells Golf Club was not an easy course very hilly and always on a slope.
4 Players from the Gloucestershire team dropped out on the Tuesday before the match all players did have good reasons for not being able to play, which made it very difficult to get replacements, so unfortunately 3 players played on there own which is a hard format when you do not know the course.

Thursday 9th May 2024, Brickhampton Court GC
On a beautiful cloudless, bright, sunny day 90 ladies arrived (of which 21 were from the Home club) keen to play our first Competition of the year. Following recent serious flooding of the course there were still several rather boggy areas but all the ladies finished in good time and high spirits.
Our thanks go to Brickhampton Court GC for hosting the event and all the help given by Jo Browne in making sure that we were well looked after on the day was greatly appreciated.
Thanks go to Seniors Vice Captain Mark and to Philomena McCarthy for taking on the job of Starter throughout the morning
When the time came to enter the results on the IG system, we encountered a problem in that the system didn’t recognise the new ladies Green tees and Stroke Indexes. Luckily, Brickhampton Court uses different software which was set up for their course and, with the help of Kerry Brimfield, Carole was able to reset the competition on their system and run it through that, knowing the results would be correct and your scores would go through to the WHS. We couldn’t have done this without her so very many thanks to Kerry. Also grateful thanks to Carole Greenup who was able to work with Kerry to achieve this result.
