Surrey were crowned 2025 Women's County Champions for the 10th time, and first since 2021, after winning all five matches at Selby Golf Club.
The Pinkies defeated Northumberland (5-0), Somerset (4-1), Lincolnshire (4-1), and Norfolk (4-1), before completing the clean sweep on the final day in a winner-takes-all match against Buckinghamshire.
The result feels extra sweet, as Nottinghamshire edged out Surrey in last year's competition despite going unbeaten.
"It feels pretty amazing," said Surrey First Team Captain Katie Laud. "I've been playing for Surrey for 21 years and I never managed to win a county final, so for me personally it's pretty amazing and I'm proud of the team.
"We went unbeaten last year and just lost out, so to come back this year, go unbeaten, and lift the trophy is extra special.
"We had a lot of motivation and our coach spent a lot of the year telling us we were going to get to the finals and lift the trophy, so to actually do this is pretty amazing."
England Golf Girls' Squad member Annabel Peaford and Issy Simpson were the standouts, winning all five of their matches, with Peaford securing all five singles. Simpson, who holed the putt to secure the win, meanwhile, added four singles wins to her foursome partnership success with Holly Justice.
In the foursomes, the partnership of Amelia Matthews and Lottie Woodham secured maximum points with three wins from three.
"We've had lots of girls chip in at different times," added Laud. "When I look back to County Week, we had players who got us points to get here, but couldn't play, because they're in America. We're very fortunate in Surrey to have a lot of depth and half of our team are 16 and under.
"We have an extremely hard-working junior committee and junior coaches, and I think it's shown as we've won Junior County Week, our second team won, and now we've secured this trophy."
