'B' Team Match v Lincolnshire 'B' held at Heacham Manor on Monday 1st July 2024

This was a brand-new fixture played off handicap with the thought that it would be great to allow more members to play in our matches against other counties.

Match Captain Sue Saunders reported that it was her first in charge, and she had selected from a number of clubs.  It was agreed that it would be played as a 4 ball better ball with 12 players in each team.  The teams met in bright sunshine and the match was played in dry conditions although it did end up being extremely chilly at the end of the day.

Obviously, most players were new to the team and several members were unsure of what to wear with much hilarity regarding team colours and several different shades of cerise/pink were on show.

Lincolnshire sent their team selection ahead of time so that partnerships could be chosen with similar handicaps and the match was played in good spirits.  The teams enjoyed a two-course meal of oven-roasted chicken breast, dauphinoise potato, broccoli with a mushroom cream sauce followed by lemon meringue pie.

A big thanks to Heacham Manor and their Secretary Karen for her help in organising the event.  The course was in excellent condition and the meal was extremely tasty.

The result was a very friendly 3-3 draw.
