Congratulations to Elizabeth Blackwell (Turramurra) on winning North Shore District’s State Women’s Singles today, defeating Suzi Fischer (Belrose) 25-19.

On a sunny but crisp autumn morning, Suzi made the better start and was out to a 10-3 lead after the first seven ends. Then Elizabeth won the next seven ends to have taken the lead 16-11. From that point on, the players won alternating ends, cheered on by the large contingent of spectators from both Turramurra and Belrose, but that 6-shot margin persisted when Elizabeth closed out the game 25-19.

Elizabeth will play the Manly-Warringah champion Virginia Longfellow in the Region 15 Play-Off at Belrose this Sunday morning, 16 April, for a spot in the State Play-Offs.

Supporters from Turramurra and Belrose lined the green for the State Singles Final (plus Senior Women’s matches).
