Dorset Ladies County Golf Association

First Team 2025

Captain: Harriet Teversham. Manager: Claire Bird. Coach: Paul Jones

The team represents Dorset at the South West Region County Match Week. This leads onto a National Final should the county win.

Several criteria are considered to help decide on players for the squad for the season. These include WHS handicap, recent form in club, county and national competitions.

The team selection is based on what is best for the team and the type of competition we are entering.

The Dorset First Team County Squad is made up of twelve players.

In preparation for County Match Week, the First Team will play a series of warm up fixtures to provide match experience and all players are expected to attend pre-season training sessions.

"My home Club is Yeovil. I am excited to be Dorset Ladies 1st Team Captain this year! We had a very successful 2024 season winning South West Match week, and qualifying for County Finals, which was a privilege to be a part of as Captain. I am set to continue the success for the 2025 season. The team this year is as strong as ever, we have a good training schedule in place and so I’m really looking forward to seeing what the 2024 season brings! "

For the second year running Dorset win the South West Iner-counties Match week.

Huge “Congratulations” to Dorset First team who retained the SW Trophy by winning the Championship at Perranporth.

The team have worked hard together over the winter and all that hard work paid off. The camaraderie and support within the team was amazing, the golf exceptional and the win, incredible.

It was a very proud moment for Claire and Harriet to be presented with the trophy amongst such prestigious people and a real honour to be crowned SW Champions.

As a result of the success, the team now go forward to represent the SW at the National Finals, September 20-22nd, at Stover GC.

Thanks go to all the players, a heroic captain, Harriet, who carried us over the line, Paul who was so inspirational throughout, Sue ( our stand in president) who undertook a number of roles that helped the week to run so smoothly, Claire, who managed the team and all the preparations, and to all the support team –Mick, parents, friends, and Stitch the dog!

See you at Stover - All support welcome.

English Women's County Finals 2024

Friday September 20th - Sunday 22nd September 2024

The first team, after their success at the Inter counties week went on to compete in the English Women’s County Finals, hosted at Stover GC, Devon. Despite battling hard in all matches, a victory against last year’s champions and rained delayed games they were unable to find the same form that got them there.

Congratulations to Harriet Teversham for leading the team and to Scarlett Phillips on her debut performance.
