Mitcham Ladies – Away Leg
Result: Win 4-0
It was a cloudy, but warm and windy day on the 5th of June when the Richmond ladies made their annual trek to Croydon to play against the Mitcham ladies.
The team comprised:
Veronica Mitchell & Norma Lynch
Alison Chadwick & Doreen Dolby
Kate Emmanuel & Jini Beacham
Sheena Harrington & Johanna Doyle.
The new members of the team gave a sterling performance supporting the veterans well and helped clinch a convincing win, giving Richmond Park a great lead before the home match. The last couple of years saw Richmond Park hanging onto the “Rich Mitch†trophy by securing a draw, so this away victory has ensured that we keep the trophy for yet another year.
Everyone enjoyed their matches and the lovely meal afterwards especially the enormous lemon meringue pie.
Thank you ladies and well done. Let’s make sure that we win this trophy outright this year!
