Daphne Saitch was in great form when she represented Basildon in the Ida Bunting Inter Club Championship.

She played excellent golf to beat her Hanover opponent 6 and 5. Daphne now goes through to the second round next month in pursuit of the title.

Basildon's hopes of retaining the Mary Forster Bowl this year finally came to end.

The three-women team made a very creditable effort when they played away at Batchford Hill with Jackie Worthington on net 74 and Shirley Clayton and Rita Heywood both on net 75.

However, this wasn't good enough to take them through to the semi-finals with Haste Hill emerging winners of the group and keeping up their excellent run with two players under handicap and one just one shot over.
