| Captain Lorna presents the Trophy to West Vets Captain, June |
Today at very warm and sunny Cochrane Castle Golf Club the strong West Vets team prevailed over the Midland Vets team and won the Inter-Divisional Trophy by 5.5 points to 1.5 points.
The Midland points all came in halved matches by the top three players, Millie Douglas, Alison Houston, and Joyce Murdoch - all of whom battled hard after being on the back foot for most of their matches. In the fourth match Emma Wilson was up against a fit and long-hitting opponent who gave little away and Liz Fertacz and Lyn Murray were both out of luck in their matches in which a little local knowledge of this lovely course would have helped greatly and might have made a difference to their result. Bringing up the rear our Secretary, Margaret Hunter, was somewhat handicapped by an un-cooperative trolley. It was late in the round before it was replaced and although Margaret responded with immediate par figures, it was not enough to save her from defeat.
Everyone enjoyed the course which was in lovely condition as well as the copious clubhouse food and, of course, the friendly company of the West Vets. Congratulations to them and we will surely have better fortune next year. RESULTS (Midland names first):
Millie Douglas halved with Helen Faulds
Alison Houston halved with Chris Fowler
Joyce Murdoch halved with Annabel Kane
Emma Wilson lost to Caroline King 3&2
Liz Fertacz lost to Liz Hale 4&3
Lyn Murray lost to Marion Stewart 6&5
Margaret Hunter lost to Karen Maxwell 5&4
