The ladies summer squad, managed by Cindy Laing, contested a tense final match against Blackheath. Holcombe had won all their matches and Blackheath had won all but one match; so there was everything to play for.
The team shown in the picture opposite contested the final match.
Deb Gurr, Lisa Parker, Sarah Wellings, Lou Hayes, Beth Hayes, Carmel Sutton, Lenny Hoyte and Deirdre Holbrook were all regular members of the squad this summer but for various reasons (mostly holidays) could not make the final match.
Blackheath needed a win for the championship and went 1-0 ahead after 20 minutes of the second half. Holcombe, staring at their first defeat in this league in over 2 years, did not give up. A superb individual effort 3 minutes from time from Lauren Osborn gave Holcombe a well-deserved draw and the top spot for the second year running.
