The SVLGA Midland Division played the North Division at Alyth Golf Course today. Alyth has lost hundreds of trees over the winter storms and work is underway to clear up but that didn't prevent a hotly contested competition.
The Matches started in lovely sunshine but a cold wind was blowing by the end of the seventh and final game. The Trophy, first played for in 1959, has been in Midland hands since 2012.
After a very exciting day with the Match swinging this way and that, Midland had to win on the very last green to secure a half Match and retention of the Trophy. The tricky putt on a difficult green didn't drop for us and the Trophy headed North for the first time in 10 years.
The Trophy was presented to the Ann Conlon, Captain of the North, by Nancy Duncan the President of SVLGA. Nancy had played in the Midland v North Match many times over her golfing career.
