AFTER their promotion to the Winter League Division One last year, Bromsgrove Ladies B team had to open the season with a tense match against Bromsgrove Ladies A Team.
With the club having two teams in the top division, league rules are that they must play each other in their opening matches.
The A side of Sally Franks with Rachael Mack and Imogen Sinclair with Jilly Whitcomb knew there was a lot of pride at stake as they took on Katherine Smedley paired with Sophie Oliver; and Kelly Kenward with Sophie Cornelius.
Fortunately for them, and the selectors, they came away with a close victory.
In a tight match, they just had the edge over the B team pairs to win 4-0.
Franks said: "With Bromsgrove having two teams in Division One, we’re all looking forward to the season ahead.
"The B team showed they have the determination and skill to hold their own at this level and I am sure they will do well."
