Hawtree Match
Another team that won through to the area semi-final. This time the home advantage went to Hoebridge – and that is a huge advantage at the best of times there with sloping and elevated greens. The advantage was even bigger on the day with parched fairways exaggerating the slopes and borrows even more. Each match was hard fought and close – but we went down four and a half to a half. Next year the format will take much of that home advantage away and – with the strong team we can field – we should do even better.
Clapham Common Match
Having fought though to the Area semi-final with two good results the team produced what had up till now been the second highest score in the country. Unfortunately it was not enough on the day but an incredibly consistent score from all the pairs home and away. We were unlucky not to have won but wish Ruislip (twice winners of the Clapham and twice runners up) good luck in the area final.

Clapham Common
A windy Sunday for the semi-final of the South London Clapham Common match. The format here is 3 men’s pairs at home and 3 away playing Greensomes Stapleford. The total points home and away are added up to find the winning team.
In tough conditions the home team averaged 37½ and won by 11 points. In tougher conditions at Lullingstone the away team fought well but lost by 16 giving the match to Lullingstone by 5 points overall.
A mere half a point swing in each game would have done it so a very well done – and a big thank you – to all who played. Results…

Harriet, Di, Veronica, Cheryl and Susan played against Hoebridge Ladies who were the finalist last year.
It was a closely contested match that went right up to the last game, but sadly we lost 3-2 to an extremely tough opposition. Harriet and Cheryl held their own very convincingly winning 3-2 and 5-4 respectively.
Well done to everyone for coming so close against a very good team.
Whitewebbs – Team A Rd 2 at Hoebridge
Result: 1-4 Loss
The 5 strong Ladies team participated in a 2nd round match in the White Webbs on Sunday June 1st.
Hoebridge is a great home course and tricky for visiting teams. Sadly our ladies were beaten 4- 1. Ros Gray who is in great form won her match convincingly!
Thanks to all who participated.
