Scratch Team

Report from Team Captain Sarah. ‘On a good day for golf the Scratch team took on the ladies from Porters Park at home. Although the greens presented us with a challenge it was the same for us all and Porters Park perhaps found them a bit more to their liking than us in the home team. The matches were close and the opposition good fun to play against but Porters won 4-1. Thanks to all the team and on her return to the team from injury, congrats go to Sally who won her match.’

Well done ladies some great scores!
