Andrea Marsden leads the Championship by one shot with 83 gross, from Sheryl Sargent on 84, but Sheryl took the handicap win for the day, with nett 67 on a count back to Andrea... so it is all looking very close. But back to Tuesday for those results. 14 ladies turned out for a final practice round of stableford and Jill Prosser was the in-form lady, winning with 21 points. Tuesday regular high achiever, Pam Abbott, was runner up with 19 and Marion Foster and Margie Franke-Williams both had 18. On to Wednesday and the sun was shining , everyone was full of anticipation.
