Northern Championships- Sandiway Golf Club 20th-22nd May 2025.

Yorkshire were once again well represented with 28 players taking part in this event, more than a third of the field.
What a great week and well done to everyone involved.

Yorkshire had 6 players qualify for the top 16 and matchplay.
Karen Jobling (Richmond), Heather Butcher (Ganton) and Lynn Wass (Selby) all progressed to the second day and the morning Semi-Finals.
All four players fought hard with Karen losing to the eventual winner and Lynn eventually prevailing in a tight Yorkshire match against Heather Butcher.

Congratulations to Lynn on reaching the Final in her first Northern Seniors' Championship (pictured left with NCVLGA Captain Caroline Berry).

The Final watched by a good crowd (including lots of Yorkies) was hard fought and close throughout. Lynn was eventually beaten on the first extra hole by Lisa Chrimes of Lancashire.

English Match Play Championship 2025

Yorkshire features strongly in the English match play championship.

Many congratulations to Carol Simpson (Malton & Norton) on winning the Anne Howard Trophy for the over 60s at the above competition.

The English senior match play event was held Tuesday 13th May - Friday 17th May at the Nottinghamshire Golf and Country Club.Yorkshire were well represented with 7 players in the Wendy Taylor flight and 3 in the Anne Howard (over 60 ‘s) flight.

It was a tricky course made even more so by the bouncy conditions.
With water on 13 of the 18 holes a lot of plotting was required.

Following the 36 holes of stroke play only Emma Brown (Malton & Norton) progressed to the top 16 match play, in the Wendy Taylor flight, with Karen Jobling, Richmond and Julie Wheeldon, Wakefield narrowly missing by one shot.

In the Anne Howard flight Elaine MacGregor Wakefield, Heather Staniforth, Hallamshire and Carol Simpson (Malton & Norton) progressed to the top 8 match play.

Emma had two comfortable wins on her way to the semi-final but was narrowly defeated 1up by Jackie Ewing (Newmarket Links).

Carol and Elaine met in the semi-final having both had tight matches in the morning, Carol fighting back from 3 down with 3 to play to win on the first extra hole.

Carol came out the victor of the Yorkshire derby and progressed to the final on the Friday morning, where she beat Kim Morris (Sundridge Park) 1 up.

Full results can be found on the England Golf website.

Good luck to everyone playing in the Northern Championships at Sandiway GC, Cheshire next week.
