On Wednesday, six Ringwood Ladies took part in the NFWBA Club Championships, played at Waterside. Ringwood were represented, in this team event, by Helen Blackiston in the singles, Debbie Senior and Chris Dalrymple, pairs and Mavis Hammond, Sue Wyatt and Chris Pentelow in the triples. All three teams won in the morning to go through to the play offs in the afternoon. Waterside won all their matches and came 1st. The remaining 3 teams tied for second place. But when the shots were taken into account, Ringwood unfortunately, came 4th. Well done to all the ladies who took part. We may be a small club but the Ladies did Ringwood proud.
