The Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club team won the 2020 – 21 UAE Ladies InterClub Challenge at The Els Club on Wednesday.

Having qualified as mini-league winners over four round robin matches during the season against Arabian Ranches GC, EGF / Hosted by Dubai Hills and Sharjah Golf & Shooting Club & Northern Emirates they once again triumphed in the Grand Final against fellow mini-league team winners from Jumeirah Golf Estates and Yas Links Abu Dhabi.

Dubai Creek scored 268 points from their best eight Stableford scores in the team and defended their title of 2019 - 2020.

Remarkably the top eight scores from both the champions and runners-up, Jumeirah Golf Estates were identical so, according to the Rules and Regulations of the UAE Ladies ICC League, a countback took place of the ninth best score, which saw Candice Wang (DCGYC) score the crucial 30 pts to beat Jumeirah Golf Estates ninth score by two points to take home the trophy.

In the ICC Day Cup The Address Montgomerie, Dubai again defended their 2019 – 2020 title with a day score of 259 points, 10 points ahead of runners-up Emirates Golf Club (249 points).

At the Prize Presentation dinner, the season long team, daily team and individual prizes were supported by Fergus James, EVNROLL Putters and The Els Club.
