Mortonhall Golf Club was the perfect setting for the Annual East v West Vets Match for the Elise Duncan Trophy. The fine, testing course along with the good weather was enjoyed by all, but the East Vets retained the Trophy, narrowly beating the West 5-4.

The match couldn’t have had a better start, with Donna Jackson achieving an eagle 2 at the first hole ! However despite losing overall, there was lots of good golf played, and all players should feel justifiably proud of their commitment and effort.
As usual the camaraderie was evident on the course and in the clubhouse during the meal, and we must thank Mortonhall G.C. and East Vets Captain Caroline Kinnaird for hosting such an enjoyable day.

The results were as follows:- (West Team players first named) 

Donna Jackson lost to Jennifer Bryans 2 & 1
Gillian Kyle halved with Anne Hanson
Lesley Lloyd beat Sue Penman 5 & 4
Nicky Henderson halved with Carol Brown
Roz Purdom beat Dawn Young 4 & 3
May Hughes lost to Anne Brownie by 1 hole
Robina Gilbertson beat Sophia Spiewak 9 & 7
Jennifer Mack lost to Linda Grieve by 1 hole
Anabel Kane lost to Hazel Saunders 4 & 3

Finally all in the team ( and I’m sure other West Vets ) are thinking of Liz Stewart,  and we hope to hear better news soon about her Mum.
