The Business Ladies team have had a really successful season progressing to the quarter finals on Sunday 22nd August at Marple.

LC Karen ,Debbie and Olwen were playing ladies from Alsager golf club. Karen and Debbie won both their matches and Olwen drew on the 18th hole. She was saved from going down the 19th by having 2 wins already in.

Lovely games and opponents and also managed to stay fairly dry.

The team will next play in the semi finals at Sale golf club, date and opponents still to be confirmed.

In a year when great matches have been ended unsuccessfully on penalty shoot outs, Alderley Edge Ladies team continued the theme when they were narrowly beaten in their Bell Cup quarter final against a very strong Mere team.

To make the competition fair, an neutral course was found, Saddleworth Golf Club with it's stunning views of rolling hills.

As one of the supporters who turned up to cheer on the ladies, it was so tense to watch as the results came in. Suddenly it was 3 matches all with the deciding match going down the 19th. Sadly it was not meant to be this time as the putt off on the last hole went the way of Mere.

The matches were played in great spirit and virtually every one was decided on the 18th.

Well done to Alderley Ladies for a magnificent performance.

We will be back.

Karen, Lady Captain

The ladies team have now qualified to play in the quarter finals of the Bell Cup. Our opponants are The Mere GC. Normally rounds are a mixture of home and away but because it is the quarter finals, a neutral ground has been decided upon, this is Saddleworth G.C.

The match is on the 13th August, first tee time 12.30. If we win this match, the semi and final rounds are to be played at Wilmslow G.C. on the 3rd of September. The semi final will be played in the morning, followed by the Final in the afternoon.

Good luck Alderley Ladies
