Congratulations to Liz Lonie and Lorraine White who have battled their way through the 5 rounds and final of the Winter Foursomes to win the first of this year’s trophies beating Dulcie Barnes and Marie Young in the final. The win must be extra special since they did not know each other before the competition started and were matched up having entered without a partner. Well done.
