The girls lifted the trophies after working extremely hard over several weekends during 2012 to accumulate points across all strokes and distances in the club championships.

All four of the girls are now looking forward to the Suffolk County Championships which begin with the distance events at UEA Norwich later this month, where they hope to further improve on last year’s impressive performances.
