A great team effort secured promotion for Berkshire at the Ladies Over 35 inter county Championship in Eastbourne.
Day one was hit by rain and our match against Cheshire had to be abandoned. We went on to beat North Wales the following day, although only by the small margin of 3-2. Our final opponents Durham and Cleveland were 4-1 winners in their first match and had to be defeated if we were to gain promotion.
A fabulous singles win decided on a championship tie- break by Janet Barlow set us on the right track. We eventually managed to secure a hard fought 3-2 win.
This meant Berkshire were promoted to division 4a for next year
Well done to the team of Gill Galloway, Janet Barlow and Carol Hewson (Caversham), Melissa Everingham (Royal Berkshire) and Vanessa Wait (Bracknell).
