IT WAS SO CLOSE!

It was so close! Scotland played fantastic golf today to beat  defending champions Ireland by  5 - 4 on the final day of the Senior Women's Home Internationals.  Ireland, Scotland and England all won two of their three matches, but it was games won that counted and Ireland pipped both Scotland and England to the title by winning  15 games to  their 13.5.
Scotland's hopes of finishing in second place were then dashed by a tortuous count-back which saw them finish 3rd.  Wales were 4th.


Congratulations to Lorna Bennett and the Team on a wonderful,  spirited performance (photo courtesy of Carol Fell Golf)
