Leicestershire & Rutland Ladies Claim Victory Over Senior Men at Birstall

The annual fixture between the Leicestershire & Rutland Ladies 1st Team and the Senior Men once again delivered a fantastic day of competitive golf at Birstall Golf Club, played in excellent spirit from start to finish.

The match, contested in a 4BBB (Fourball Better Ball) match play format with shots, proved to be as closely fought as ever, with every game remaining competitive right to the closing holes. In the end, it was the Ladies team who edged the contest, securing a well-earned 3–2 victory.

A Fixture with Strong County Tradition

This longstanding match has become a valued part of the county calendar and is traditionally played at the same venue as the Ladies County Championship. The fixture was originally established during Carolyn Parkes-Walley’s captaincy, alongside her father Nick Walley, who was Senior Men’s Captain at the time—creating a tradition that continues to strengthen connections across county golf.
