2nd Team Away Match v Leics

Thursday 6th August saw us playing away at Willesley Park against Leicestershire. A beautiful venue, but a very challenging course with lots of blind holes. We managed to get 1 point in the morning foursomes – this was gained by Emma Anderson and Carol Houghton. There were some very tight matches which went all the way to the 18th, the other foursomes pairings were Louise Wilding playing with Lizzie Wood and Jacey Peacock who played with Audrey MacMillan.

Having just gained the one point in the morning we needed to secure at least 2 and a half more in the afternoon – we actually managed to gain 3 points the successful players being Emma Anderson, Carol Houghton and Audrey MacMillan. This has enabled the County 2nd team to go forward to the Second team finals which will be held at Walsall Golf Club on the 2nd of September. Our opposition will be Staffordshire.

The team were fantastic on the day as the away matches really are a challenge and they all tried their absolute hardest. Representing Notts were Emma Anderson, Carol Houghton, Audrey MacMillan, Jacey Peacock, Ava Waplington, Louise Wilding and Lizzie Wood. Di Payne once again supported and helped with organisation on the day.
