Police Sport UK’s women’s golf teams delivered outstanding summer performances, securing an emphatic 11-1 victory over the Army at St Michaels Golf Club and a convincing 9-3 win against the Royal Navy at Hill Valley, with memorable moments including Captain Fiona Pennie’s hole-in-one.

“Despite these challenges, Knight assembled a squad featuring six debutants for his second year as captain, building on last tour’s impressive 75% win ratio. The tour concluded with perhaps the most impressive individual performance when Max Mannering’s devastating spell of 6/53 from ten overs – the fourth-best bowling figures in tour history – dismantled the Army batting lineup. The 2025 tour stands as a testament to what can be achieved when talent, determination, and proper support align – even when the weather doesn’t cooperate.”
