GLOUCESTERSHIRE’S teenagers pulled out the stops in the singles to beat Hampshire 5.5-3.5 for their second win in their defence of the National Women’s County title.
The finals, being played Felixstowe Ferry, have already seen Gloucestershire win by a big 8-1 over hosts Suffolk on Monday.
Gloucestershire took two points from the foursomes and then clinched their win over Hampshire with three big wins from young players.
Alex Giles, 17, and Caley McGinty, 16, each notched up 7-5 wins and were soon followed by 14-year-old Ffion Tynan, who took the team safely over the line with her 5-4 win.
The result was further improved when Claudia Ovens, 19, squeezed a half out of her game.
Team captain Andra Knight said: “We are delighted to have got our win. Hampshire came at us very strongly and the golf in the top match was amazing, really top class.”
That game went Hampshire’s way when former Curtis Cup player Kerry Smith won on the last to secure her second point of the day.
