Frinton’s Harris Bowl team had a good week, winning both of their round robin matches. First they hosted Lexden Wood GC in the fourth of five matches last Monday. Caroline Gard was first out and won 4/3, closely followed by Donna Oliver who came in with a 3/2 win. Third out was Deborah Tanner who won on the last green after her very good opponent went into the ditch. Karen Wright and Angela Vaughan were the last two out and both were beaten by very experienced opponents.

And then on Sunday Yvonne Davies, Michelle Lawton, Deborah Tanner, Sheran Harding, and Sandra Balderston all won their matches for a fifth and final victory.

The ladies played for the Flatau Cup on Tuesday, a medal event. Michelle Lawton had another good day, taking home the trophy with her score of 69. Marie Ellie finished second with 73, and Vice Captain Jemma Jackson’s 74 put her in third place.
