England continue to dominate the Home International Matches in the foursomes this morning as the wind makes play more difficult for the competitors.The first English pairing of Naomi Edwards (Ganton) & Kerry Smith (Waterlooville) defeat Ireland’s Tara Delaney & Niamh Kitching early with a convincing win of 6 & 5, to gain the first points of the morning.
Rachel Bell (Ganton) & Liz Bennett (Brokenhurst Manor) confidently take charge of their game as they move to two in the lead after 10 holes, however Irish players Danielle McVeigh and Marian Riordan fight back to return the match to their favour going down the last. Match finishes all square with 1/2 point to each team.
Rachel Jennings (Izaak Walton) & Danielle Montgomery (Lambourne) who face Maura Morrin and Gillian O'Leary lead from kick off as they gradually increase their winning margin to five at the turn. They continue this lead to the finish and complete the match 5 & 4.
