Challenge Cup Final 2025

The Final was played on September 24th 2025 between Kiran Grewal of Beaconsfield GC and Gilly Brewer of Harewood Downs GC at Burnham Beeches in glorious sunshine with light winds.

Kiran was giving Gilly 4 shots and the players were advised that preferred lies on fairways were in place.

Both players got off to a nervous start on the first tee. Gilly found sand with her 2nd shot and Kiran was down in 4 to go 1 up. Two perfect drives were sent up the 2nd hole but again Gilly found sand with her 3rd shot and conceded the hole. By the 4th hole Kiran was 4 up but Gilly fought back and won the next two holes and Kiran was 2 up after 9 holes.

In the second half the wind was stronger, adding to the challenge. The 10th was halved and Gilly’s game steadied so that the match was all square after the 14th hole. Kiran won the 15th after a great approach shot but again the match was back to all square after the 16th. On the 17th both tee shots were right of the green & Kiran’s chip went very close to give her the advantage once again, 1 up and 1 hole to play. Kiran also won the 18th and won the match.

The match was refereed by Rosemary de Lacy and Lois Shoosmith, the County Captain, walked round with the match.

The match was played in a very friendly spirit and we want to extend our gratitude to Burnham Beeches for their generosity and excellent hospitality.
