Warwickshire County President Angela Dawson and her partner Jane Jones, both of Copt Heath, won the Brenda King Foursomes at Minchinhampton yesterday, 30th September.

Felicity Johnson earned her maiden European Tour victory today at the Tenerife Open, played at Costa Adeje Golf Course.

First out this morning were Rachel Rusted and Liz Galland and with clouds gathering they had a very close match, finally clinching a half point on the 18th. Regrettably Liz Cramond and Hannah McLoughlin did not fare so well, losing their match on the 15th. The last foursome match was much closer with Claire Howells and Charlotte Dalton pulling back to just one down on the 17th, only to halve the final hole and thus lose the match 1 down.

The fourth day of the County Finals and Hertfordshire, last year's runners-up, were the team that Warwickshire had to face on a cloudy morning. Charlotte Dalton & Hannah McLoughlin led the way in foursomes with birdies on the first two holes but unfortunately the experience of the Hertfordshire pair overhauled their flying start and they finally lost 2&1. Claire Howells and Lisa Barton fought a hard match but also lost 2&1. Final pairing of Rachel Rusted and Liz Galland could not recover from a slow start.

Today the team faced the well fancied home side Lancashire. Morning foursomes started with Lauren Taylor and Ashley Cramond who, after a very tight match, clinched a half by winning the 18th hole. Lisa Barton and Charlotte Taylor had a tough match as did Rachel Rusted with Liz Galland (playing for the first time this week) with both matches finishing early. All the Warwickshire players felt that they played well but just did not manage to overcome the local players' knowledge of the course.
