On 3rd September the Legal Ladies were once again invited to play a match against the ladies of Royal Cinque Ports Golf Club. The team led by Debbie Richards consisted of Sara Reston, Di Kyle, Hilary Wynter, Vicky Soutar and Claire Gearing. The weather was fair but windy - although the home team assured us it was a mere breeze compared to the weather they had had over the weekend - and the course at Deal was in lovely condition. This year the Legals managed to edge ahead until the final match came in with a win for the home side bringing the overall result to a friendly half.
Christine Wightman organised the RCPGC team and invited everyone to her house for a delicious meal in the evening. This was a lovely sociable and enjoyable occasion. The Legals were then kindly hosted for the night by Christine, Pippa Lark and the RCPGC ladies captain before heading off to Rye the following morning.
The team was welcomed at Rye GC with a very good sandwich lunch. Sara Reston organised the home side for this match, with Diana Reese taking her place on the Legals' team. The team were again lucky with the weather - despite ominous black clouds scudding across the sky the worst anyone suffered was a short, sharp (albeit very heavy) downpour.
After the match the teams enjoyed a delicious tea with the famous Rye cheese scones and cake. Once again the Legals managed to edge ahead in the match but this time the final match brought the overall result to a 4-2 victory for the Legals. The team were delighted to be unbeaten on the tour this year. Everyone very much enjoyed both the courses.
Thanks to Debbie, Sara and Christine for their wonderful organistation of the event and to RCPGC and Rye GC for making us welcome once again. Particular thanks to the ladies of Deal who hosted the team in their homes. Another most enjoyable match in great company.
