Gloucestershire’s Hannah Barwood (pictured above) captained the English schools girls’ team  to a fine 5½-½ win in the annual international against Wales at Gay Hill, Worcestershire.

Hannah, the English schools champion from Knowle in Gloucestershire, led a team of four girls – of whom three are members of English Ladies’ Golf Association squads.

Hannah is in the U18 squad, while Katie Mundy (Dunwood Manor) is in  Select South East and Elizabeth Mallett (Sutton Coldfield Ladies) is in Birdies Midlands West I.  Hannah and Katie, both 17, are both England girl internationals. Elizabeth, 13, is the English schools U16 champion.

The team for the schools international was completed by Emily Mathieson, a nine handicapper from Kent.

The girls’ unbeaten performance was crucial in giving the English combined team an overall 11-7 victory after the boys were beaten 6½- 5½.
