Bradley Cook Plate Runners Up

With subdued optimism the team arrived at Ashford yesterday in the sunshine for a good day's golf.  But with handicaps of +1,5,5,5,9 Chart Hills totally outgunned us to win the first three matches and although the last two matches were close they were called in.

I was very proud to receive our framed certificate on behalf of everyone who has played this year and they all deserve a mention here:
Sue, Lydia, Debbie, Jane, Helen, Donna, Finella, Lindsay

A special thanks go to our wonderful caddies who helped calm everybody down:
Rena, Julie, Caroline, Jill, Georgina

Golf aside West Malling true to form made it a good day out and we still drank our share of Prosecco in celebration of getting to the finals.  No other team on the day had anyone with handicaps in double figures and there will be more than one girl there yesterday hitting the pro circuit once they are old enough - in about 3 years time!!

As far as I can determine WM have never got to the plate final before so it was a MASSIVE achievement to do so and I am SO PROUD of all of you.  We have a strong squad of still improving low handicappers and I look forward to next year.

It was a pleasure to be your captain!!!
