Mitcham Ladies – Away Leg
Result: 2-2
The result of this year’s friendly is set to be a close run thing compared to last year’s 8-0 win. At the end of the first leg we are tied on 2-2.
The match was played on Saturday 4th June on what turned out to be the warmest day of the year so far and for once we appreciated the wind to help keep us cool. The driest spring on record accentuated the effects of the ‘Mitcham bounce’. The ball not only ran for a long way, it also bounced in any number of directions. The greens at Mitcham are always a challenge to us, used as we are to the slow greens in the Park, but they were so fast that the Mitcham ladies too had their problems with them.
The team for the day was:
Jini Beacham & Julie Smyth
Doreen Dolby & Val Riziotis
Sheena Harrington & Nina Humphreys
Veronica Mitchell & Anne Holding-Parsons
All the matches were very close and it was good to have a number of new faces in the team. The matches are always very friendly occasions and this was no exception. The day finished with an excellent meal of a large chicken salad and fruit and meringue for desert.
Richmond need to draw the return leg on the 13th August to retain the trophy, but we’ll be going for the outright win.

Summer Cup / Committee Cup Rd 2
Ladies
A very windy day kept the scoring down as the ladies battled against the elements. Despite her despondency at not getting a third week of reductions to her handicap, Lia’s 32 points were enough to extend her first round Committee Cup lead to win by 4 shots from Sheena Harrington in second place. Lia finished on 70 points and Sheena on 66. Susan was the day’s winner, beating all those who’d signed up to play her in the Barton Bowl. Results…
