Roseanne’s eldest grand-daughter, three-year-old Sienna, has been a sufferer since birth and has already won several life-threatening battles. Despite her struggles she managed to join the Stoke Rochford Ladies for the whole day and delighted everyone by giving out the prizes.

The stableford competition awarded prizes in two divisions.

The winner of the best decorated visor in the CHILD colours was chosen by Sienna and went to Dorne Werner and the day raised more than £700.
