Championship Report
Friday
Gabrielle Higgins will play Liz Drury and Liz Farrow will play Virginia Arney in the first round of the championship knockout stage. Sorry there appears to be no published information on times and lawns at present.
If you play in the Sussex County one-day GC competitions you will know Liz Drury who is a member at Compton. In June she was a 6 handicap; she played in the qualifier event at Compton and took the 4th and last place available for the championship. Taking the 4th place in her block this week - described by Chris Clarke as the "standout performance" in the block, she is now playing in the knockout. A fantastic achievement!
Liz Farrow lost to Virginia Arney 2-7, 7-5, 3-7. In the subsequent Bowl Knockout she lost to Begona Elzaburu 5-7, 4-7.
Gabrielle Higgins beat Liz Drury 7-6, 7-3 but lost to Pouline Salib 1-7, 4-7.
