Day one saw Warwickshire against Gloucestershire. With the weather a little misty, the morning foursomes saw Warwickshire get off to a slow start losing all three matches. New team member Charlotte Taylor played with Lisa Barton. The other pairings were Claire Howells & Liz Haycock and Charlotte Dalton with Hannah McLaughlin, who had a close match finally losing on the 17th.
Afternoon singles saw brighter weather and brighter fortunes. Winning 3 matches and losing 3. Winners were Lisa Barton (beating England International Jo Hodge 3&1), Claire Howells (2&1) and Liz Haycock (3&2).
Charlotte Dalton and Hannah McLoughlin had their hands full against England Internationals whilst Charlotte Taylor battled against the experienced Linda Carruthers (EWGA Training Manager).
Quote from Captain (Bev Belcher) "Whilst disappointed with the start it should be remembered that last year we lost on the first day 8 1/2 to a 1/2"
