Result: Loss 3-2
Harriet, Di, Veronica, Cheryl and Susan played against Hoebridge Ladies who were the finalist last year.
It was a closely contested match that went right up to the last game, but sadly we lost 3-2 to an extremely tough opposition. Harriet and Cheryl held their own very convincingly winning 3-2 and 5-4 respectively.
Well done to everyone for coming so close against a very good team.
Whitewebbs – Team A Rd 2 at Hoebridge

The 5 strong Ladies team participated in a 2nd round match in the White Webbs on Sunday June 1st.
Hoebridge is a great home course and tricky for visiting teams. Sadly our ladies were beaten 4- 1. Ros Gray who is in great form won her match convincingly!
Thanks to all who participated.

Clapham Common – Rd 1 v Wycombe Heights
Result: Tie on 195 points, lost by count back
Home team (-2)
Dave Winter & Paul Patching
Toby Hunt & Paul Appleton
Tom Scarr & Dave Williams
Away team (+2)
Ian Smith & Graeme Syme
Richard Owen & Jason Loubser
Jon Cooper & Phil Flanagan
We were drawn in the first round against Wycombe Heights, who have a hill top par 70 course on the North Downs, just off junction 3 of the M40. Their course was almost the opposite of the Richmond Park courses, having lightening fast greens with plenty of borrow, numerous bunkers, lots of elevation changes, and very well drained.
Under these conditions our away team of Ian & Graeme, Jon & Phil, and Richard & Jason scored a creditable 95 stableford points, pipping the Wycombe home team by two points.
In the home leg, played on Dukes, our team of Dave Williams & Tom, Toby & Paul Appleton, and Dave Winter & Paul Patching notched up 100 stableford points, but were marginally outshone by the big hitting Wycombe away team, who finally got the measure of the very slow greens on the back 9.
As the overall result was a tie, the back 9 scores were calculated. Wycombe beat us both home and away probably due to their superior fitness (all those hills at Wycombe) and therefore go through to the next round, where we wish them all the best.
Whitewebbs – Team A Rd 1 against Iver
Result: 3-2 Win
In the first round Team A was drawn to play at home to Iver on Saturday 12th April. Captained by Di Jackett the other 4 team members were Lia Donath, Veronica Mitchell, Cheryl Woodhouse and Ros Gray.
In a close fought match on Dukes, Richmond Park held on to win 3-2 and will now be playing either Hoebridge or Blue Mountain in the 2nd Round.
Well done Ladies!
Whitewebbs – Team B Rd 1 at Portsmouth
Result: 3-2 Loss
Richmond Park B team travelled to Portsmouth for the first round of the competition – against last year’s winners. It was a tough draw for Team B, consisting of Tracy Wright, Lorna White, Maureen Slade, Jayne Maxwell and Ann Gardner.
The match was played in wind and rain on a beautiful, challenging Portsmouth course in a closely contested match that went right up to the last game. We lost 2-3 but we all had fun and all played extremely well against tough opposition.
Well done to all the team especially in coming so close against a very good opponent on a difficult course!
