Boars Head win the 2009 National Nines Ladies Title
Congratulations to goes to Boars Head for winning the Ladies title this year. The team consisted of Dorothy Turton, Valerie Groombridge, Vimala French and Sandie Heslop. A titanic battle between themselves and Anstruther Golf Club (Joan Roberts, Lynne Black, Sandra Murray and Nicola Gemmell) saw the match tied after the fourth singles. This meant that the two ladies that were chosen before the start of the singles incase their needed to be a play off went into sudden death. As Vimala and Nicola tied up on the first hole of sudden death you could feel the tension in both teams and when they tied the first extra play off hole it was anyones game. But after a super effort from Vimala on the second extra hole the deadlock was broken and Boars Head won the hole and the match to become the Ladies National Nines Champions. With their heads held high the Anstruther Ladies took defeat in their stride and congratulated the worthy winners.
