Junior Matches 2023 - Round 2
On 1st July Nottinghamshire had two matches to play at the Westwood Golf Club, Leek, Staffs. It was an early start for us all and the team of Captain Jorja Newbold, Lizzie Wilson, Millie Marsh and foursomes pairing of Amelia Hogg and Lexi Williams-Green, put out a great showing against Derbyshire in the morning with a decisive 4:0 win. The course was testing with a very hilly front 9 and some difficult and watery holes on the back 9.
The afternoon saw Notts out again, but this time against a fresh Shropshire team. Unfortunately Staffordshire was unable to field a team, so neither Derbyshire or Shropshire played 36 holes that day. However, the Nottinghamshire girls were up for the challenge, with wins for Jorja and Lizzie, with Millie’s match going down to the final putt on the 18th to give us a 2:2 draw in the match.
It was a great show from all the girls in testing conditions over a difficult course. Well played all – we need to beat Shropshire to win the overall title.
