Hertfordshire Girls County Manager Clare Mulvaney came up with the great idea to invite a number of ex county girls to have a match against the current crop. Having struggled to find local county opposition, turning to the alumni proved hugely successful, with old friendships being reignited on a gloriously warm, sunny and hospitable day at West Herts.
The girls were able to sharpen up their matchplay skills in readiness for Girls County Match Week away at Wensum Valley in Norfolk this summer.
An honourable 4-4 draw followed some amazing golf on a track that had been transformed from previous years – great fairways and greens and a new layout of bunkers enriched by a club of friendly staff and membership.
Bishop’s Stortford’s Harriet Buchan will remember the day for a different reason, acing the 104 yard 9th hole.
With so many positive comments from the girls and parents, it looks like this would make a great annual fixture.
Team: Tala Clarke, Amelie Stewart, Amelia Parker, Caitlin Garrard, Anqi Chen, Lily Hertz, Lily Wrangle
Alumni: Connie Packer, Riya Chandaria, Amiya Raja, Hallie Copping-Jones, Lucy Henderson, Hana Cunnane, Keeley Morris, Harriet Buchan
