WEST VETS VICTORY AT LONGNIDDRY IN THE ELISE DUNCAN TROPHY

The annual match against East Vets for the Elise Duncan Trophy took place today, Wednesday June 12th at Longniddry Golf Club.
This as a Scratch match which is always very closely contested and today was no exception. The sun shone and the course was in great condition. Our hosts supplied a delicious meal after the match which allowed us to catch up with "old" friends and have a good chat. The Captain and her team then returned home tired, but very happy!
Results were as follows
Alex Glennie (Kilmarnock Barassie)  beat  Noreen Fenton
Jane Finnie (Troon Ladies)  beat  Pam Williamson
May Hughes (Lanark) beat Lesley Johnstone
Lorraine Campbell (Cardross)  lost to Linda Grieve
Anna Telfer (Milngavie) lost to Sue Penman
Jennifer Mack (Haggs Castle)  beat Ann Brownie
Pat Hutton (Lanark)  beat Hazel Saunders
Joanna Scott (Machrihanish)  halved with Sophia Spiewak
Liz Keohone (Loudoun Gowf) beat Ruth Brown

So that meant West Vets retained the trophy by 6.5 to 2.5.
