Two ladies teams at Skipton Golf Club are on a high after progressing to the later stages of two prestigious county level tournaments, both set to be decided next month.

The club’s Weekend League team has won the Yorkshire Ladies County Golf League for the first time in many years, with the top four sides now qualifying for the final rounds to be staged at Horsforth Golf Club on Sunday, September 15, with the semi-finals played in the morning and successful teams then competing for the championship in the afternoon.

It’s a three-person team, normally comprising long-standing members Anne Acornely, Pat Eaton and Sophie Eddison, with current Women’s Captain Sarah Howes also stepping in when required, together with Lorraine Raeburn and Andrea Walker

The same ladies, plus Nicola Gamble, Helen Gatenby and Sarah Coy, feature in the four-person Skipton team which has also gone through to the Three Counties Ladies League semi-finals, having finished second to Kirby Lonsdale in their division.

They will be up against the best from Yorkshire, Lancashire and Cumbria and will play against Carrus Green at Settle Golf Club on Saturday, September 14, making it a busy weekend for the ladies, with the successful team progressing though to the final to be played at a later date.

A club spokesman said: “Many congratulations to the two high-flying ladies teams. They are doing both themselves and the club proud and we wish them all the best in these two high profile tournaments.”
