On Monday of last week Axe Cliff Seniors enjoyed another friendly mixed match with the Ladies, always in great spirit with tremendous fun for all despite the challenging weather.

Axe Cliff Ladies had another challenging day in their County Prize Round last Wednesday, playing against a bitterly cold wind but at least they did not have any serious rain to contend with.

Amazingly the first three all had had the same score of 30 points and were difficult to separate.

Axe Cliff Ladies ladies were lucky last Wednesday when the wind was not as strong as had been forecast so they were able to enjoy a Valentine's special Stableford. They had to pick two different hearts each, playing in pairs, before they went out, and on the back of each hearts was the number of a hole where they were to double their score.

At the end of 15 holes they added their score together and the result was a very clear winning duo -Pauline Willis and Jo Hopgood with 58 points. Jill Wellington and Ange Higgins were second with 51 points and Stella Thompson and Sandra Walker third on 47 points.
