LINDRICK'S Nicola Slater has moved to within two wins of being crowned English women's open match play champion at Kirby Muxloe.

Slater, a member of England Golf’s girls squad, beat France’s Lois Lau, from the Fontainebleau GC, 3&2 in the first round and edged Jessica Bailey, playing on her home course, by one hole in the quarter-finals.

North Region ladies’ champion Slater, who recently helped Yorkshire retain their Northern Counties Match Week title at Huddersfield, had qualified equal second in the 36-hole stroke play stage of the championship.

She carded 74 72 for a four-over-par aggregate, the highlight of which was an eagle three in her second round at the 456-yard par-5 sixth – which she had birdied on day one.

She will face Trentham’s Emily Brennan, the player with whom she shared second spot in qualifying, in this morning’s semi-finals.
