MCLGA Championship Update

A very windy morning made a real battle ground for the Semi finals.  Wendy Nicholson had a good tussle with Rachael Livingston before chipping in on the 18th to force a sudden death play off.  The Baberton player won the 19th to prevent an all Kingsknowe final.  Hannah Scott, Broomieknowe, battled hard against Louise Fraser before going down 3/1.  Went and Louise tee off in the final at 2.30.

Congratulations to Barbara Hamilton, Newbattle GC, who won the B Championship beating Jaci Moriarty, Lochend, 2/1.

Cuthbertson Cup

The morning saw us go down to a very strong Fife team. Although we were down on most matches for most of the time the girls fought extremely hard with most matches finishing on the 17th. In the afternoon we faced East Lothian who lost on count back to S & C.

In the afternoon we faced East Lothian and although we fought to the last we lost 1/2 to 11/2 each game going to the 18th.   Carys and Eilidh played first followed by Alex and Sam.  Both pairs fought   hard but failed to conquer the eighteenth hole to clinch each match - the first pair getting a half whilst the second pair lost one down.  The girls showed great determination and tenacity fighting to the last.
Fife went on to win the trophy in a convincing manner.

Thanks to Carys, Alex, Sam and especially Eilidh who captained the team well.
