Running the day with great efficiency was Cheshire official Fiona Walton with the destination of the trophy being decided by the last group.

Early starter Cathy Day (Sandiway), the Cheshire Girls organiser, with a gross 80, net 72, to set the benchmark for the rest of the players.

It came from Denise Booth (Romiley GC), playing off 10.4 handicap who posted a net 69 to win the Margaret Sangster Trophy which has plenty of top Cheshire players winning it in previous years.
