The final was played in wet and windy conditions with Jess playing some wonderful approach shots to go four up after eight holes. 
Helen gradually began to find her range and the match was all square after 18. 
A birdie from Helen on the 20th secured the match and the Championship.  The referee informed us that Helen had shot two under and Jess one under in a thoroughly sporting and exciting match.  Well done to all 16 qualifiers.  and see you at Blankney in 2013
