Little Aston Ladies in the Pink after winning the Final of the Taskers!

Congratulations to the Ladies who have won the Taskers Trophy!

Thanks to Jilly Cosgrove for providing the following match report.

After 7 matches over the past 6 months the squad of ladies that participated in the Taskers Inter-Club finally lifted the Ian Burtoft Trophy in a nerve wracking final against Lingdale Golf Club at Beeston Fields, Nottingham last Sunday.

It all started back in April when lockdown had lifted and we commenced our journey to secure the Taskers Trophy having been runners up in 2019.  Playing two matches at home against Whittington Heath due to Covid restrictions we went on to beat Aston Wood, Erewash Valley, Lingdale A and Lees Hall making it into the final against Lingdale B.

Despite the nerves generated by the occasion, the ladies were strong in their matches.  At 1- 1 in the clubhouse, Jilly Cosgrove headed down the 19th to make it 2-1.  Mandy Poxon followed down the 19th with her match.  In the meantime Linda Gawthorpe finished her match on the 18th making it 3 - 1 with 3 still out in the field.  It wasn't long before Mandy Poxon returned from the 1st with a thumbs up giving us the 4 - 1 we needed to secure the trophy.  We had a convincing win of 5.5 - 1.5.

It's been an exciting journey and every match has been a joy to play in.  Thanks to everyone who has played in the team or been a reserve and to all the members who have been following our progress over the past 6 months - it's been a real club effort.  For those who would like to see the trophy it is proudly sitting on the mantelpiece in the Ladies (that was) Lounge.

The Taskers Tournament covers 7 counties and supports grass roots Junior Golf in all those counties.  Last year they shared £7,000 and each county put the funds to some great use for their junior sections.

Here's to 2022 when we will defend our title!
