The competition was a better ball with the best score between the pair counting.
The ladies also nominated three holes as joker holes before teeing off; one par three, one par four and one par five on which both scores counted and were added together.
Jane and Sue claimed victory by one shot over the field of 100 ladies with an impressive round of 50 stableford points.
The pairing of Jennie Stogdon and Helen Chivers was second for the second year running, beating Jane Ashton and Judith Glover on countback as both pairs came in with 49 points.
