East Girls Retain Inter-divisional Trophy

Congratulations to the East of Scotland Girls team, which included Hannah Scott (Broomieknowe), and Jessica and Emily Dalgetty (Glencorse), who today retained the inter-divisional trophy at Balumbie Castle.  Both East and West went into today's final matches with full points.   Going down the 18th, the top pairing of Hannah and Emily were all square, and the match was all square, both teams having won a game each.  Hannah and Emily in true Midlothian style had fought back from four down to square the match on 16 and 17 was halved. Hannah hit a fabulous drive and Emily put it on the green with Hannah canning a ten footer to win the game and match!  Well done girls!

County Matches 2102

This is the story .... On Saturday the monsoons came. Would we play, would we not? Sunday - amazingly the course was open albeit on a few winter greens and no trolleys - a few moans and groans and carry bags produced. Got half way round and the heavens opened again - so back to the clubhouse. Contingency plans hatched....

Day 1 ... no rain, course open.  Team happy and ready to go...

Solid start against Stirling and Clackmannanshire winning 6.5 - 2.5 (foursomes 2-1: singles 4.5-1.5)
Day 2: Fife - More sunshine

But at lunchtime the mood was not sunny after loosing the foursomes 3-0. Time to regroup- we did it last year, we can do it again! and yes we did - in some style. In typical Midlothain style the girls dug very deep  - they were awesome, winning 5.5 points out of six!!  I'm sure we had a bit of divine intervention!!

Day 3: East Lothian - getting ready to finish the job ....

 Fantastic performance. 3-0 in the foursomes and 4.5-1.5 in singles.  A true team effort!

We are off to Montrose in September to defend our Scottish County Trophy!

Thanks to all our fantastic caddies and supporters, to VC Sheila, Secretary Hilary, President Janet, Selector Linda for all their hard work and support over the three days and to Agnes Leslie our Tournament Secretary.

A huge thank you to Turnhouse Golf Club who were fantastic hosts and in particular Turnhouse Lady Captain  Isla McCrone, for her brilliant hard work and organisation prior to and during the competition.  The course was amazing considering the pre match monsoons - a big thank you to Gavin and his greens staff.

The story in pictures.....

Champions 2012!

We did it!  Another fantastic performance by the Midlothian team, defeating East Lothian 7.5 - 1.5 today to retain the East Division County Trophy.  Off to the County Finals in Montrose in September!

Full report after some sleep!  Well done girls - you were brilliant!

Comeback kids

Another nailbiting match against Fife. In a repeat of last year we lost the morning foursomes 3-0. Then in true Midlothian style, the girls dig deep, played fantastic golf and displayed the most amazing team  spirit to win the singles 5.5-0.5 and secure overall victory. Girls you were awesome!

We play East Lothian tomorrow - come and support your team if you can
