Ladies taste golf success in Norfolk
THE Cambs and Hunts women’s second team tasted success for the first time this season with a 5�-3� victory against Norfolk seconds at Sheringham Golf Club.
In wet and windy conditions the team got off to a solid start in the morning foursomes with wins for Sharren Kjenstad (Ramsey) and Tina Broadley (Ely City), and Grace Eastment and Bethany Peckham (Menzies) for a 2-1 lead.
Broadley increased the lead when she gained a 2&1 victory in the top singles match, with Eastment adding a valuable half. Norfolk responded by winning the next two matches to level the score, but Lesley Ince (Brampton Park) and Peckham, making a welcome return to the team, each recorded 5&3 wins to clinch the points for a 5�-3� match score.
