Norfolk Girls came third in the East Region Junior County Match Days competition at Colne Valley in Essex.

They took on teams from the hosts, Hertfordsfire, Bedfordshire, Suffolk and Cambs & Hunts in a round robin event of six singles and recovered well after a poor start to seal a respectable finish.

There was some exciting matchplay action over the three days, with everyone contributing.

Norfolk were beaten 4-2 by Hertfordshire on day one and also lost their second match 5-1 to Essex before bouncing back to beat Suffolk 6-0. The girls then finished with a flourish to see off Cambs & Hunts 5½-1½ and Bedfordshire 4-2.

Representing their county were Jasmine Campbell, Chloe Rowswell, Megan Mann, Imogen Leeder, Maisie Farrelly, Chloe Gibbs, Hope Neild and Eve Neild.

Meanwhile, Mundesley won the Diamond Knockout final at Wensum Valley by a margin of six up against Bawburgh.
