BURGHLEY A TEAM TOPPLE TOFT

 

Jo Bell, Mel Griffiths, Sandy Bushby, Michelle Powell,
Kay Hircock, Gail Hunt, Helen Haynes and 
Sue Churchill

The A Team had a tough match at home today against Toft - our old rivals! All the matches were very close. Helen, playing in her first A Team match with Michelle had a really tough match against Tofts first pair - Louise Bradley & Cathy Lee. Louise was on tremendous form chipping in from off the green and holing long putts. Sue and Sandy battled to come in with a very welcome half. Kay & Gail had a good match against Toft stalwarts, Lorraine & Mairead. There were 11 halves on the scorecard, but the match was won by an amazing chip in from the horrid rough on the 16th by Kay!! Mel and Jo came in with the final win, with another close tough match. The course was in fantastic condition, but both teams were a little troubled by shots into the green which bounded on further than we all expected!! Toft were very complimentary about the Burghley greens. Our return match takes place at Toft on the 5th July.
