Warwickshire had only one thing to do today and that was WIN! Doubts were expressed about the weather holding up and after the early morning downpour and the gloomy conditions at the start of play, fingers were crossed.

The stage was set for some sparkling play today, Day 4 and we certainly weren't disappointed by the Warwickshire girls. The Foursome pairings for today were Lisa Barton and Elizabeth Mallett, Abbey Gittings and Hannah McLoughlan and Claire Howells and Charlotte Dalton.

The sun shone from early morning and after the players were adorned with sun cream and insect spray, they set off on Day 3. Opposition today was Berkshire, with Foursomes pairings of Elizabeth Mallett (Sutton Coldfield) and Charlotte Dalton (Ladbrook Park), Claire Howells (Moor Hall)and Elizabeth Haycock (Moseley) and Lauren Taylor (Rugby) and Ashley Crammond (The Warwickshire) chosen for Warwickshire.
