We kicked the season off with our first match against Northamptonshire on Sunday 27^th March at Rothley. We played County match week format of two foursomes matches and three singles matches, unfortunately due to injuries and various other commitments of team players I was players short, so I stepped in at the last minute. Northants fielded a really strong young side, and all the singles players were scratch and better handicaps, so the fact that we had two wins in the singles was brilliant. Holly Waterfield and Katie Underwood won their singles matches and in the foursomes Rachel East and myself won.

Squad  - Victoria Mayfield, Suzanne Pretty, Rachel East, Jo Mayfield, Katie Underwood, Di Miller

Match result a win to Leicestershire 3-2.

Our second match was against Bedfordshire away at Bedford and County Golf Club on the 2^nd April. This was an extremely cold afternoon with a all four seasons in one afternoon, I struggled to get a squad even though it is a combination of 1^st and 2^nd team and 1 junior.

We played two foursomes matches and four singles matches with us winning both foursomes matches and winning 2.5 points in the singles resulting in a win for Leicestershire 4.5-1.5.

Squad - Fran Brimm, Rachel East, Di Miller, Jo Mayfield, Helen Lowe , Moira Page, Paige McManus, Georgia Mitchson.
