MATCH REPORT - SECOND TEAM
​
The second team went to Henbury GC on Sunday 24 May to play Gloucestershire in scorching temperatures. 

On arrival we were faced with fog and were expecting to be late teeing off for the morning foursomes. However, it lifted just in time for the first tee time at 8am. We fought hard and finished the morning session 2.5 - 0.5 down, well done to Lili Marshall and Milly Pearce for halving their match. 

By lunchtime we were melting and after a quick break were back out for six singles matches. Great golf was played by both teams, often halving holes with birdies but Gloucestershire managed to win five of the six matches. Very well done to Milly Pearce, who won her match 3&1 bringing home a point. 

The end result was a loss 7.5 - 1.5 but everyone was still smiling and glad to be out of the sun after a long hot day. 

My thanks to the team and caddies for representing Somerset. Also to our coach Joe Bray, President Janet Fear and County Captain Sarah Whittock for their support. 

The home match is at The Mendip GC on Sunday 9 August.

SECOND TEAM FINALS REPORT - 28 SEPTEMBER AT TIVERTON

We played defending champions Devon in the second team finals on Sunday 28 September at Tiverton Golf Club in glorious weather. 

The morning foursomes were hard fought and although we were down in all three matches we managed to secure two halves giving Devon a 2-1 lead. 

The team played really well in our singles matches and with two matches still to finish we were 2-2 for the session so we needed both points for a win. Sara held out for an excellent half and Abi had all those dressed in green holding their breath as she sunk a great putt to win her match on the 18th. 

Having won the afternoon singles 3.5-2.5 and therefore tied 4.5 points each we had to take the halved match to a sudden death play off. Sara held her nerve but her opponent played an excellent approach shot and birdied the hole to secure the win for Devon. 

We should be proud of the team for their performance and for all players who have helped us get to the finals this year. 

Finally, we celebrated two of our team receiving their second team colours. Congratulations to Milly Pearce and Abi Whittock for this achievement.

MATCH REPORT - SECOND TEAM

​We played our second team match against Wiltshire at Rushmore GC on Sunday 14 September.

The team faced difficult conditions but this time it was strong winds and rain. In the morning the team delivered an excellent 3-0 win in foursomes in dry weather with light winds. The afternoon was completely different with rain from the first tee and gusty winds throughout the round. However, the team did a great job and delivered a 4-2 win in the singles. 

With this 7-2 win we have reached the second team finals to be played at Tiverton GC on 28 September 2025.
