The morning began with two of the Gorleston team unable to play because they had been unwell all night and that morning.
This meant that Gorleston had to concede one match and therefore were one point down before a ball had been played.
Our team took this in their stride and the competition began. During the mornings play the first pairing of Jackie and Jenny had a tough match that was nip and tuck the whole time, right up until the 18th hole where it ended all square with one half a point each .
As this match was being played out our pairing of Gail and Linda were forging ahead in their match finishing 6 up with 5 to play , making the match one and a half points Gorleston and one and a half points Thorpeness.
All the players who had finished plus supporters of both teams gathered behind the 18th green waiting for Pauline and Janette in the last game which was all square
All four balls landed on the green and all the players had their chances of sinking the winning putt however the Thorpeness player missed their last putt and we all held our breath as Jannette put the ball in the hole to win 1 up making Gorleston the winners ,2 and a half to 1 and a half.
Gorleston now go to the semi final against Bramford at Halesworth on the 20th of
August.
Well played the whole team
