'.y R O Kim Andrew


IBBLE Valley golfer Kim Andrew failed in her gallant bid to retain the


British Ladies' Open Amateur


title a t Royal Birkdale. The 25-year-old Curtis Cup star,


who won the title at the Little Aston club 12 months earlier, was eliminated at the semi-final stage by


the eventual winner, French international Marine Monnet. Had Kim retained the title she


would have been the first player to do so since Mickey Walker 27


years ago. But, despite another near-miss,


the popular Clitheroe GC member was delighted with her performance.


together at once and that's the best I have played all season.


She said: "My game came "I just hope to play as well as that


for the rest of the season." Kim returned 78 and 73 to lead


& Kate Egford the qualifers going in to the


38 i.


semi


matchplay element. She then defeated Fay Moore 3


and 2, Lisa Walters by two holes - despite being four down with only


eight holes to play - Spanish amateur champion Stephanie Arricau 3 and 2 and Claire Hargan 2 and 1 before losing 2 and 1 against Monnet in a stunning semi-final


showdown. The 19-year-old Parisian led by . . , , ,


two holes at the turn, recording four birdies compared to Kim's two. Kim continued: "I played with


Marine in the qualifying round at Little Aston last year, so I knew all


about her. "She has been a good player lor a


long time and should have a good


future in the game." Monnet, who won the British


Girls' Open Championship in W96, defeated Rebecca Hudson by 1 hole


in the final. The 1999 season has seen K.im


record a series of near-misses. She lost in the quarter-finals ot


the Spanish Amateur Championship: lost in the final ot the Lancashire Championship at


Wanderers untimely

his assault as he moved towards his century. He crashed a six off the


third ball of the last over, before the next ball landed too far up his b a t and he was caught on the edge for

as Earby's run rate of 6.28 an over bettered Glitheroe's


4.98, leaving the visitors with five points, and the home side with nothing to show for their efforts.
