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!

Jane Finnie (Troon Ladies)  beat  Pam Williamson
