Judy McCairns won Frilford Heath's first major ladies competition of the season, the Andrew Walsh Cup.

Nine-handicapper McCairns's dogged determination saw her defeat Kate Evans by one hole in the final.

Earlier, Annie Gowing finished first in the medal qualifier, ahead of McCairns, Caroline Bickerton, Evans, Sue Russell, Meredith Wilson, Jane Binning and Margaret Chaundy.

McCairns defeated Binning 2 & 1 in the first matchplay round and then battled past Wilson in the semi-final by two holes despite giving 13 shots to her opponent.

Evans sealed her final spot by holing a long putt on the 18th to defeat Gowing, but couldn't quite defeat McCairns.

  • Sheila Jones has driven in as Chipping Norton's new ladies' captain.

The 12-handicapper, a Chippy member for 16 years, raised £200 for her chosen charity, Helen & Douglas House Hospice on the day.

Jones is a former Oxfordshire player and past winner of the County Bronze Competition.
