The 2nd Team played their return match against Nottinghamshire at Kirby Muxloe GC on Wednesday 30th July.
Emily Wolverson from The Leicestershire and Ella Cunningham of Kilworth Springs were both making their debut for the 2nd Team.
We made a great start in the morning foursomes with Rachel East and Lucy Wheeler taking the first match 2/1. Lisa Porter and Ella Cunningham followed this with a 3/1 victory in the second match. Victoria Mayfield and Emily Wolverson were up against stiff competition and were 6 down at the turn. However, they dug deep and fought their way back to finish All Square after 18 holes – a fantastic achievement. This left us 2.5 – 0.5 up at lunch.
The afternoon singles were very close with Rachel East, Lisa Porter, Lucy Wheeler and Victoria Mayfield all winning their matches. The overall match result was a victory to Leicestershire & Rutland by 61/2 to 21/2.
Thanks very much to Kirby Muxloe for hosting the match and for looking after us all day. Thanks also to Peggy Remington, Barbara Suffolk and Sally Jee for your support during the day.
