2008 Results

For the first time since its introduction nine years ago Oxfordshire have won the Seniors League – a team of seven singles match play competition, off scratch, against Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire and Hertfordshire.

Their first match was in May against Berkshire at Calcot Golf Club which they won 4 -2 with Angela Tyreman and Elizabeth Sadler (Frilford), Judy McCairns (Oxford Ladies) and Jane Luckhurst (Henley) achieving the honours.

The next match was on home territory at Southfield against Hampshire Seniors which they won 4 ½ – 2 ½ at the hands of Angela Tyreman and Beverley Sandys-Lumsdaine (Frilford), Judy McCairns (Oxford Ladies), Kate Stagg (Chipping Norton) and Jane Luckhurst (Henley).

They went on to play Buckinghamshire at Ellesborough and halved the match

3 ½ - 3 ½ with Angela, Judy and Jane winning their matches and Chipping Norton’s Gill Cooper halving.

Oxon lost to Hertfordshire, 3-4 in their final match with three Frilford players putting points on the score sheet, namely – Angela Tyreman, Jo Docherty and Pat Huntley winning for Oxfordshire.

But even after losing their final match and tying with Buckinghamshire on match points Oxfordshire just pipped Bucks on games won by half a game, to put Oxfordshire on top to win the League. Similarly Berkshire and Hampshire tied on match points but, on games won, Berkshire just beat Hampshire, again by half a game.
