Match Report – Richardson Trophy
YORKSHIRE v NORTHUMBERLAND @ Gosforth GC
Friday 27th July 2018
Well I cannot believe this is our last match for the Richardson Trophy, time has just flown by.
The Officials, Team & Caddies all made their way to Gosforth Golf Club for our match against Northumberland.
We arrived in glorious weather for the Practice round but very much aware the weather conditions might change for Match Day.
Match Day arrived and we all had Tea/coffee/ Biscuits before the players & matches were announced.
Due to the change of weather once more we had to announce the use of the Klaxon and what the players were to do if it was used.
Fortunately the rain stopped the thunder disappeared and no Klaxon was used.
As usual the matches were played in tremendous spirit with some very close finishes.

MATCH REPORT
On a hot sunny morning we all arrived at Brancepeth Castle to play our match against Durham. Fortunately, as the day went on the clouds arrived and the temperature dropped which made it ideal to enjoy playing golf. It was a very close match which went to the last putt on the last green, with Durham winning 4 matches to 3.
After the match we all went into the clubhouse for a well earned drink and meal.
It was also my pleasure to present Heather Staniforth with her County Colours.

Match Report
We all arrived at Woodsome Hall Golf Club in glorious sunshine on the Sunday for the Practice day. Carefully watching the weather forecast for the next day, it had to be announced once again on the first tee that if there was any sign of thunder & lightening the klaxon would be used.
The day in fact was wonderful & ideal for playing golf, & after a dull start the sun came out & was ideal for golf.
The 1st match was between the 2 county champions Pat Wrightson & Janette McWhirter. It was a tightly fought match with very little in it but Pat lost on the 17th 2&1. The 2nd match was between Julie Wheeldon & Kathryn Bulman & Julie won 5&4. The 3rd match was between Karen Jobling & Nicola Tebbutt & Karen won 6&4. The 4th match between Carol Simpson & Brenda Ewbank was much tighter and Carol won on the 18th 2up. The 5th match between Sandra Paul & Rosie Waller was also tight, going to the 17th & Sandra winning 2&1. Heather Staniforth against Isobel Williams - this was a tight match finishing at the 16th, with Isobel the victor 3&1. Finally out last was Betty Sworowski against Alyson Wood & the match finished at the 14th with Betty winning 5&4
Overall, we beat Cumbria 5&2

Report for the Richardson Trophy Match against Cheshire
Well, what a splendid 2 days we had weather wise. Having watched the weather forecast all week & thinking we would be having rain and thunderstorms on match day, it all blew over to the west. The match day came with beautiful blue sky & very little wind.
The Captains, Presidents, Vice Captains Players & Caddies arrived for Tea Coffee & Biscuits then the team matches were announced with their caddies. Our President Jo Somers set all the matches off.
What a tight game it was when the last match came up the 18th the match stood at 3 -3
Unfortunately, for Yorkshire. at that time we were 1 down & only managed to halve the hole so the final result was 4-3 to Cheshire.
Well done to my team for all their hard work.
