SELBY’S Megan Garland captured her third Yorkshire Ladies’ county championship when she defeated Debs Henery from Hickleton in the final at Malton & Norton Golf Club.

It was Garland’s third win in the event in the last four years and she said: “I’m over the moon to have won the Yorkshire championship again.

“Thank you to Malton & Norton and also to Selby members for their support including Lady Captain Sue Porter, Jenny Knights, Julie Rae and Mark Rae.”

It was Henery’s first final and she has been rewarded with a place in the Yorkshire squad for the Northern Counties Match Week at Seaton Carew from June 24-28.
