New caps named in England senior

teams for Ireland and Wales

NEWS RELEASE ISSUED BY ENGLISH WOMEN'S GOLF ASSOCIATION
Four new caps are included in the England teams which have been selected for this season’s major international competitions.
Surrey’s Rozalyn Adams, Norfolk’s Jo Ashmore and Northumberland’s Lucy Newton will play in both the European Seniors’ Team Championship and the Seniors’ Home Internationals Matches. Paula Parker of Cambs & Hunts will take part in the home internationals.
They will join four experienced internationals: English senior amateur and stroke-play champion Chris Quinn of Hampshire, Sue Dye of Cheshire, Janet Melville of Nottinghamshire and Chris Stirling of Hampshire.
Seniors’ captain Sue Westall (pictured) commented: “We have very strong teams and I am very hopeful that we will do well. We have that nice blend of good new blood and good experience and we are led by our marvellous double champion.”
The new caps are an impressive addition to the teams. Roz Adams is an established senior who is always in the mix at major events and produces consistently good results. Jo Ashmore, a second year senior, Lucy Newton, who is making her debut, and Paula Parker, who is in her fourth season, are all on great form.
At the seniors’ amateur championship at Hunstanton, Lucy reached the final, Jo was a semi-finalist, and Paula and Roz reached the quarter finals. At this week’s strokeplay championship at Royal Ashdown Forest, Jo and Paula both held the lead during the event and, like Roz, achieved high finishes.
The teams for both events will be captained by Sue Westall of Copt Heath, the manager will be Sue Timberlake of Edgbaston. The teams are:
