Surrey’s Walton Heath Golf Club were crowned the 2026 English Women’s Champion Club at Felixstowe Ferry Golf Club.
The trio of Jenny Justice and sisters Annabel and Emily Peaford shone to shoot an overall +16 across the two days, five shots clear of their nearest challengers, Princes Golf Club (Kent).
With the two best scores from each team of three counting, sisters Annabel and Emily – who are both part of the England Golf National Squads – delivered on both days.
Annabel shot rounds of 71 (-2) and 73 (level-par) including an eagle on each day, while Emily shot 81 and 83, meaning Walton Heath finished five ahead of Princes’ team of Teagan Ford, Alessandra Mitchell and Sandy Hallet.
Annabel said: "It means a lot, I have been a member at Walton Heath since I was 7 and I am always proud to represent them. Emily and I were part of the team that won the title in 2023 so it was great to win it again. It was really good fun having Jenny in the team, as well as having the whole Justice family and Debbie to caddy and support us!
"I just telling myself to keep going. We got the toughest side of the draw yesterday playing in some of the worst conditions I have ever experienced on a golf course. I knew that if we had some better weather today that we could have a better day and catch up with the leaders. In this format of golf anything can happen so it was great to have a determined attitude in the team to get the job done."
Asked about winning alongside her sister, she added: "It is always great when we win together, she is a very determined teammate and we both know that we are giving it our all even when the conditions are horrendous!"
"Going home and drying off is the priority now! We all had lunch together following the round today and are proud to bring the trophy back to Walton Heath!"
Northamptonshire County Golf Club were another four shots back in 3rd, thanks to their team of Katie Amos and Harriet and Millicent Billson. Check out the final leaderboard here.
