This year saw West Malling drawn against Sundridge Park and Wrotham Heath in the round robin stage of the competition. Our first match at home to Wrotham was a 3-2 loss to us. We next played Sundridge away and all the team put up a good fight but we still lost 4-1. However, Jane was the hero of the day, taking her lady to the 17th and winning 2&1. On the return match at West Malling, we were really up against it and sadly lost 5-0. Rena playing in her first Bradley Cook match put up a spirited fight but lost 2&1. Our final match against Wrotham away was not an impossible task as we needed to win 3-2 or better to stand a chance of going forward to the next round. As Wrotham had lost both their matches against Sundridge 5-0 and we had only lost 4-1 and 5-0 there was still hope. However, it was not to be and we lost 3-2. Everyone put up a valiant fight and Jane and Jill went down the 20th and 19th holes but to no avail as we had already lost 3 matches.
I would like to thank all the ladies who played in the matches this year and for all their team spirit. Lindsay, Lydia, Jane, Jill, Julie, Caroline and Rena thankyou all. As more and more ladies reduce their handicaps they will become eligible to play and I am sure our team will go from strength to strength in the coming years and proceed further in the competition.
