Sportsmatch backs girls’ golf in Sussex
27 March 2006

Plans to develop girls’ golf in Sussex have been boosted by more than £3000 thanks to a local sponsor and the government-funded Sportsmatch scheme.

Sussex County Ladies Golf Association will use the money to offer girls’ taster and coaching sessions, as well as competitions.

The sponsorship of £1588 has come from Eastbourne-based company CMS (GB). Chief executive Mr Adrian Teulon said: “I am delighted to be able to put something back into the sport that has given me so much pleasure”.

This has been doubled to £3177 by Sportsmatch, which helps fund grass roots and community sports in England by matching new sponsorship money on a pound for pound basis.

The cheques were presented at a ceremony at Royal Eastbourne Golf Club by Mr Teulon and local MP Nigel Waterstone, who represented Sportsmatch. They were received by Sussex county president Diana Langridge and county captain Glenda Ricketts.
