2021 Winner: Heather Pentney (Harewood Downs) Runner Up: Lois Shoosmith (Ellesborough)

The Challenge Cup KO Final was played at Burnham Beeches GC on 18 October 2021. The finalists were Heather Pentney from Harewood Downs GC and Lois Shoosmith from Ellesborough GC. The match was refereed by the County Captain, Janet Beal and Heather was giving Lois 3 shots. It was closely fought throughout with Heather's long game and Lois's accuracy around the greens ensuring a tight contest. There was rarely more than a hole between the players and it finished with Heather winning on the 17th.

The day was shared with the Rose Bowl and Summer Greensomes finalists. Players, officials and guests all sat down to a lovely tea of sandwiches and cake; prizes and the cups were then presented by the BCLGA County President Lynda Hilton.

Thanks go to the staff of Burnham Beeches GC for hosting the Competition and their generous hospitality. Special mention must also be made of the 'barmy army' supporters from Ellesborough, cheering on their lady but very fairly supporting good shots by both players and providing excellent bunker raking services.
