The Gillieson Cup, a foursomes competition contested by teams of three pairs, is regarded as the most prized of the county competitions.<\/p>\n
Lynn\u2019s success was built on remarkable consistency, with the same six players representing the club throughout the competition.<\/p>\n
Helen Bensley, Rosie Russell, Elaine Calvert, Karen Freezer, lady captain Sarah Sheldrick and Soon Letchford carried the side all the way from the opening rounds to the final.<\/p>\n
Their cup run began with an emphatic 3-0 victory over Wensum Valley before a closely fought 2-1 success against Bawburgh.<\/p>\n
Lynn then recorded another clean sweep, beating Royal Cromer 3-0, before overcoming Sprowston 2-1 to book their place in the final.<\/p>\n
There was no stopping them in the showpiece match as the Lynn trio of pairings produced another commanding performance, defeating Great Yarmouth and Caister 3-0 to claim the trophy.<\/p>\n
The triumph also earned the team a special place in the club\u2019s history as the team which finally brought the Gillieson Cup back to Lynn after more than three decades.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ladies from Lynn Golf Club have won the prestigious Gillieson Cup for the first time since 1992 after…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":795801,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[5904,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-795800","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/795800","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=795800"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/795800\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/795801"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=795800"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=795800"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=795800"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
