Good third place finish from Nottinghamshire!

The English Women’s County Finals took place at Stoneham Golf Club, Hampshire, from 16th to 18th September 2022.

I know many of you will have followed the daily results from the Finals, and are aware that our team finished in a very creditable third place, behind winners Essex and runners up Buckinghamshire. This was an excellent performance from our relatively young and inexperienced squad. The standard of golf from all of the teams was exceptional, particularly as the course was playing very long, with lightning fast, undulating greens. Our girls certainly made an impact, and mounted a very strong challenge, which bodes well for the future.

Congratulations to all of the players (in alphabetical order): Vicki Johnson (The Nottinghamshire); Jorja Newbold (Oakmere Admirals); Maddie Smith (Norwood Park); Lauren Spray (Notts Ladies); Amelia Wan (Sherwood Forest); Ava Waplington (Coxmoor); Rachel Wilkes (Springwater); Elizabeth Wilson (Norwood Park)

I’d like to thank all of you who came and supported us or sent good luck cards and messages which helped to create the enormously positive atmosphere which surrounded the team. Thanks also to the tireless parents and spouses who accompanied us, becoming caddies, photographers, chauffeurs and general gofers!
Lastly, thank you to my team of officials : Caron Harrison, Julie Revill, Eva Glasby and Gillian Stump - what a huge help you all were, before and during the event.

I appreciate that I have been very lucky to be the Captain of this talented team, and wish them continued success in the coming years.

Audrey Macmillan
County Captain
