Cheshire Golf Senior Ladies have had great success in recent years at all levels and they added a special new record in a tense finish to the Northern Team Championship for the coveted Richardson Trophy.
Cheshire had won it for the previous eight years and in an exciting end to the season Yorkshire, Lancashire and Cheshire were all able to win the trophy.
Cheshire Senior Ladies Team Captain Jane Burke said: “In the end Yorkshire halved their match with Lancashire which meant that Lancashire had the same number of points as Cheshire so it came down to the individual games won and halved over the season.
“With 25.5 wins Cheshire came out on top to clinch a record nine successive wins of the Richardson Trophy- WELL DONE!
“Every player has played her part in retaining the trophy as every win and half has counted.
“The winning squad in order of appearances is:
Cath Rawthore (Cheshire Senior Champion)
Sara Spencer
Caroline Berry
Jane Burke
Barbara Jamieson
Alison Hunt
Jill Peters
Wad Grayson
Alison Bluck
Elaine Ratcliffe
Barbara Laird
“Caroline Berry, the Captain of the Northern Vets, came down to Sandiway to present the Richardson Trophy to me.”
