Norfolk Ladies continued their preparations for County Week in June with a 3-1 victory at Hunstanton against the club's men's team.

The windy conditions proved a tough test for all the players, and the match was excellent preparation for the challenges to come on the same course between June 19 and 23.

John Nudds fielded a strong team for the hosts, as did county skipper Sammy Martin, and the result was a keenly contested encounter.

Peter Read and Richard Oakes received three shots and won 1 up against Jo Ashmore and Ellie Brown, Dan Messias and William Coker played level against Amelia Williamson and Jo Herd who won 1 up, Matt Goss and Stuart Ashley played Tiffany Mills and Immy Leeder who received five shots and won 5/4 and Michael Pearson and Mark Shannon played Jasmine Campbell and Chloe Gibbs who received one shot and won 2 up.

More than 70 ladies braved chilly conditions to play in the NCLGA County Am Am at Barnham Broom.
