AUSTRALIAN WOMEN’S INTERSTATE TEAMS MATCHES, FINAL ROUND
New South Wales upstaged Western Australia and a fast-finishing South Australia to win their second consecutive Australian Women’s Interstate Teams Matches title at Peninsula Country Golf Club in Victoria. The team comprised Rebecca Flood (c), Rebecca Blain, Sue Fairhurst, Nerida Gregory, Justine Lee, Allyce Watkinson and Olivia Wilson. The Coach/Manager is Dennise Hutton and Team Assistant is Jane Searle.
In heavy rain, New South Wales rebounded after trailing 1-2 to Western Australia in the morning foursomes to win four of their five singles matches and the contest 5-3.
Srixon Australian Amateur champion Justine Lee and her NSW team captain Rebecca Flood finished undefeated in their singles matches as the team lifted the Gladys Hay Memorial Cup for the seventh time in the last decade.
The defeat took Western Australia out of first place and down to third as South Australia took second place with a 5 ½ to 2 ½ win over Queensland.
The South Australians were dominant in the singles, winning four of the five matches, with Ebony Heard and Emma Ash winning both their foursomes and singles to finish on a high note.
For Western Australia it was tough finish in a week that promised plenty as they led in consecutive rounds. Whitney Hillier and Stacey Shanahan put in solid performances all week.
The Victorians finished in fourth place after an impressive 6 ½ to 1 ½ win over Tasmania. Stacey Keating, Tilly Poulsen, Grace Lennon and Lauren Sinclair all finished the tournament with victories in singles and foursomes.
Tasmania finished the tournament in sixth position.
