Clitheroe’s Sophie Lamb starred as England pulled out all the stops to retain the women’s Homelnternationals


— title in an intensely tight finale at Royal Wimbledon Golf Club. . The team produced a great sin-


^ gles performance to beat Ire­ land 5-4, but had to wait for the outcome of the other match, between Wales and Scotland, before they could be crowned champions.. '


England had beaten Wales


5-4, with Sophie teaming up with Inci Mehmet (Royal Mid-. Surrey) to win 4&3 against Georgia Lewis and Bethan Morris in the foursomes, and Katherine O’Connor 1 up in the singles. In a 6-3 defeat against Scot­


land, Sophie and Mehmet won 2&1 against Shannon McWil- liam and Hannah McCook, though Sophie lost her singles match against Gabrielle Mac-


Donald5&3. At the start of the final day,


the title race was wide open. Ireland were front runners


and looked even stronger at lunchtime, after winning the morning foursomes 2-1 - with England’s point coming cour­ tesy of Sophie and Mehmet, beating Olivia Mehaffey and Annabel Wilson 3&2. . ' But England stormed out in .


the singles, led by Hollie Muse (West Lancashire) who won the


first hole against Mehaffey, and


went on to win 5&4- Sophie trailed for the first


part of her match, but didn’t lose a hole after the fifth, got in front on the 14th and went on towin3&i. : Mehmet was three up with


three to play but was taken to the 18th, where she played the hole with textbook precision to claim her point.


•. . Gemma Clews (Delamere Forest) got in front on the third


- and stayed there, extending her lead to five up after 11 holes andfinallywinning4&2. So England secured the


point - but if-Scotland beat Wales, theywould tie with Eng­ land and the result would be de­ cided on countback. However the Welsh held on to win 5-4. This week, Sophie is in ac­


tion with Lancashireinthefinal of the women’s English County Championship at Frilford Heath in Oxfordshire. \


ed the prestigious UK Cup at the 1.8 mile Bishopcourt Circuit near Downpatrick in Northern Ireland to add to the English Champi­ onship trophy that he re­ cently woninthei250pen gearbox class. Kirk qualified second


but was forced to start the second heat at the back of ’ the pack having suffered an engine seizure in the first. However, he stormed


through to victory and claimed pole position in the all important decider. In an exhilarating fi­


nale, w here the lead changed on numerous oc­ casions, Kirk eventually took the chequered flag by a mere 0.009 of a second. Kirk’s next outing is at


Oulton Park on October 3rd.


' He would like to thank


his sponsors PFP Services, Magnum Motorsport, Cat Racing Services and Joe Worsfold.
