GOLF: Kyra, 12, in Wilts team for opener
WILTSHIRE women swing into action tomorrow with the traditional early-season friendly match against High Post men, writes Ernie Newell.
Bev Dolman's eight-strong team includes two players from Marlborough and one each from Ogbourne Downs and Wrag Barn.
The Marlborough duo are county vice-captain Karen Gosling and teenager Emma Breen.
Four-times county champion Sue Sutton represents Ogbourne and twice champion Gill Loughrey flies the Sevenhampton club's banner.
The other four members of the side are ex-county captain Di Gritt and England seniors player Jayne Long (Tidworth) and South West champion Jo Shorrocks and young Kyra Horlock, from Hamptworth.
Horlock is only 12 and as well as having a handicap of four, she was the county's most improved girl in 2007.
Dolman, from Ogbourne Downs, who is in the last of her two years as captain, will announce her squad for the six-county round robin tournament after the three-day Wiltshire Women's Championship, which gets under way at Hamptworth next Friday.
Kingsdown's Portia Abbott, who last year won the championship for the second time by defeating Hannah Turland, the England Girls Under 13's champion from Tidworth, in the final at West Wilts by four and two, is now studying on a golf scholarship at an American University.
Turland is in the field again and will start among the favourites to succeed Abbott.
She is not 14 until June and if she is successful at the Landford club she will become the county's youngest ever champion.
Turland will be one of two two-handicappers in the field, the other being home player Jo Shorrocks, who became the first Wiltshire winner of the South West Championship at Burnham and Berrow last summer.
Other leading contenders include Kyra Horlock, Emma Breen, Sue Sutton and Bridget Cartwright (Upavon).
