The Final round of Canterbury North Women's Interclub competition was played at Hawarden yesterday in cool, overcast conditions in what turned out to be a thrilling finish to what had been a very close competition all season.
The fortunes of the top four teams changed markedly as results were finalised, with the leading Culverden team being convicingly beaten by fourth placed Scargill 4-0, and Hanmer Springs defeating Amberley 3-1 to set up a sudden play-off between Scargill and Hanmer Springs as they finished level on 15 points each.
The play-off responsibility fell on the shoulders of the teams No.1's, Scargill's Ingrid Cadenhead and Hanmer Spring's Nicky West to decide the final outcome and it was Ingrid who rolled in a crucial 12 foot putt on the first play-off hole to seal the win for her delighted Scargill team, from left, Janet Murray, Jo Sampson, Ingrid and Jan Moir.
The Scargill ladies are definitely on a roll as they are the current Boyle Cup holders after defeating Cheviot last month, and will be looking forward to their first challenge at home against Bottle Lake on 29 June.
