EAST REGION COUNTY MATCH DAYS 2025

Bedfordshire hosted this year’s match days at John O’Gaunt Golf Club.

The course was in great condition; the irrigated fairways had not been burnt to a crisp and the greens were in tip-top order. The host county did themselves proud making everyone feel welcome, and we were looked after superbly from start to finish.

The weather forecast was concerning, especially as the rooms in the Premier Inn were as hot as the fairways at 32 degrees.

Jasmine Points hitting her 13th and final tee shot of the game and tournament as she demolished last year’s champion of champions with 6 Birdies and 7 Pars. Miss Points won all her 4 games with a display of fearless and mesmerising golf.

Josie Knights 15, the youngest member of the squad played all five matches contributing a win against Bedfordshire, a foursomes’ half with Melissa Coffey against Cambs and Hunts and a brilliant half against a close rival from Hertfordshire.

Juliette Coffey returned from Studies in America and France to play all five matches and secure Suffolk points against Norfolk, Essex and Hertfordshire.

Melissa Coffey and Sophie Kubitzek played foursomes in the first match against Bedfordshire.

Jo Miller and Molly Newson played foursomes against Bedfordshire and Essex.

Jo Miller, stealing some shade from Vicki Hunt.

Sophie Kubitzek before her 5th and final match: five holes in and 3 down Sophie said she wished she could start again – Sophie then switched on and played stunning golf to halve the match and secure a win against Herts and 3rd place in the tournament for her jubilant teammates.

Securing 3rd place was a good result considering the squad was diminished by illness from the get-go. Suffolk were the only team to win a point from champions Norfolk and the matches against Bedfordshire and Essex were incredibly close; the excitement distracted the team from the energy sapping heat.

We have high hopes for next year’s County Match Days, at St Ives Golf Club, the team will have extra breadth from up-and-coming juniors who were unable to commit this year.
