On a glorious hot, sunny 4th September a team of Legal Ladies headed to Rye Golf Club. The LLGA team of Debbie Richards, Di Kyle, Sarah Brownlee, Jane Pettit and Claire Gearing with Sara Reston (who played for the home team) enjoyed the warm hospitality at Rye; a sandwich lunch before the match and a wonderful tea afterwards. The beautiful course was played in idyllic conditions with that rare event at a links course - a very welcome gentle breeze. A particularly high tide on the Rother surrounded the 12th tee
Sadly the home team prevailed 31/2 to 11/2.
The team stayed in Rye for the evening and were joined by two of the Rye ladies for a very convivial dinner at the Fish Cafe.

Di Kyle, Marianne Copp (Rye GC), Debbie Phillips and Sara Reston
The following morning the team headed over to Royal Cinque Ports GC and were welcomed by the ladies of Deal. This time Sara Reston played for the Legals bringing the numbers up to six-a-side.

Another beautiful day but sadly the Legals were again defeated by the home team with Deal winning 31/2 to 21/2
Despite the disappointing results the ladies had great fun and thoroughly enjoyed the two days of good company and beautiful golf courses which as Debbie Richards said is just as important as the result!
Our thanks to Debbie and Sara for all the hard work that went into organising the event and to the ladies of Rye and Deal for hosting us.
