The Hydro Active Women’s 5k Challenge

  • Are you a keen runner or up for a new challenge?
  • Would you enjoy a fun day out with your girlfriends?
  • Wouldn’t it be great to do something for charity at the same time?

    If you answered yes to any of these questions then St John’s Hospice has an excellent opportunity for you.

    You and your friends can help the Hospice by taking part in the Hydro Active Women’s 5k Challenge - the UK 's premier 5k women's road running event!

    This event is taking place on Sunday 16th September 2007 in Hyde Park and there are still a small number of places available. Registration for the event is simple: just go to womenschallenge.co.uk and book your place now! Entry to the run only costs £15 but by entering St John’s Hospice’s details in the charity section of the form, £5 of this money will come straight to us. Of course, you can also ask your friends and family and colleagues for sponsorship for the race, so if you are interested in taking part, please contact Danielle (details below) and she will provide you with an online sponsorship option and personalised forms.

    St John's Hospice is a truly unique and positive place. They provide free care to anyone in Central and North West London suffering from a terminal illness, such as Cancer, HIV/AIDS, Motor Neurone Disease and vCJD. Through the In-patient Unit, Day Services Centre and Community Team, they focus on the needs of each individual, ensuring that they are able to enjoy the highest quality of life available to them. In order to continue to provide this care, they need to raise over £1.5 million a year; therefore events such as these are of hugely benefit.

    For more information on the run or sponsorship ideas, please call Danielle on 020 7806 4074 or email danielle.reiterbund@hje.org.uk.

    Top seed Liz Bennett reaches quarter-finals of English championship

    Top seed Liz Bennett is through to the quarter-finals of the English ladies’ close championship at Littlestone and now takes on her friend and practice partner Danielle Montgomery.

    “It’s going to be tough,” said Liz, the reigning English strokeplay champion from Brokenhurst Manor in Hampshire. “I’m going to have to play as I did this afternoon.” In that session she put on a fine display of scoring to beat Braintree’s Jenny Pease 4/3.

    Earlier in the day she had to draw on her fighting qualities to beat Charlie Douglass (Brocket Hall) on the 20th. Liz was one down playing the 18th but squared the match with a birdie and then produced two solid pars to win through.

    Danielle Montgomery (Lambourne) also went into extra time in the first roun! d before beating Laura Jones (Royal Liverpool) with a birdie on the 19th. She went on to defeat Jo Hodge (Knowle) in a fine match in which neither player had a bogey. They halved every hole until Danielle won the 8th; they halved another string of holes before Danielle won the 16th with a birdie; they finally halved the 17th to give Danielle a 2/1 win.

    Curtis Cup players Melissa Reid and Naomi Edwards also moved safely into the quarter-finals. Melissa (Chevin) was five under par when she beat Charlotte Ellis (Minchinhampton) 9/7; while Naomi (Ganton) triumphed by one-hole over 16-year-old Hannah Barwood (Knowle). English girls’ champion Rachel Jennings, 18, (Izaak Walton) will take on Naomi after winning the battle of the teenagers, beating Florentyna Parker, 17 (Royal Birkdale) 4/3. “Flory’s a very good golfer and I’m really pleased to win this,” said Rachel who sealed the match with a 20ft birdie putt on the! 15th. Kent’s Claire Aitken (The London) continued h er impressive progress through this championship with a second round 4/3 win over Fern Grimshaw (Weymouth).

    Earlier in the day Fern provided the upset of the tournament when she beat 2004 champion Kerry Smith (Waterlooville) 5/4 in the first round. The quarter-finalists are completed by Anna Scott (Consett & District) who had two comfortable wins; and by Emma Lyons (West Surrey) who upset the odds when she won her second round match against England international Rachel Bell (Ganton) 2/1. The quarter-finals start at 9.15am and the matches will be played at 15-minute intervals. The draw is: Liz Bennett v Danielle Montgomery. Rachel Jenningsv Naomi Edwards. Emma Lyons v Anna Scott. Claire Aitken v Melissa Reid. Online scoring: www.englishladiesgolf.org
