Ladies' European Team Championships

Congratulations to the Scottish Ladies' Team, which included MCLGA member Jane Turner (Craigielaw), which won a bronze medal at the European Team Championships being held at La Manga Golf Club in Spain. The Scots qualified in 6th place in the Championship Flight after the 2 stroke play rounds, which set up a first round knock out tie against England. The girls won this by 4 matches to 3 and faced the no. 2 qualifiers, Spain, in the semi-finals. Unfortunately Spain got the better of the Scottish girls and came out on top by 4.5 to 2.5. This forced Scotland into a 3rd place play off against Germany who had qualified in 5th position just 1 stroke ahead of the Scots. After a great show in the morning, the girls headed into the afternoon with a 2-0 lead and it was Jane who brought home the vital point to win the tie and the bronze medal.
