| East Vets Vice Captain Caroline Kinnaird presents West Vet Vice Captain June Lockhart with the ASP Trophy
After a wonderful day’s golf at Kilmacolm, the West Vets team narrowly defeated the East Vets for the ‘Friendship Trophy’ after 5 foursomes matches.

It was truly a lovely day and the ladies saw Kilmacolm at its best - both the course and the scenery. The ladies were announced on the tee by club Vice-Captain Susan Reid and after the match, we were treated to a first class meal in the clubhouse.
The matches went as follows with the score 3 - 2 to the West Vets.
West Vets named first:
1. Carol Fell / Anne Judge beat Louise Campbell / Sue Cowie 6 & 4
2. Cathy Morton / Marion Stewart lost to Joanne Watt / Dorothy Thomson 4 & 2
3. Helen Robertson / Enid Young lost to Jane Neville & Fiona Ford 4 & 3
4. Karen Maxwell / Lynn McColl beat Vickie Sandeman / Tricia Smith 4 & 3
5. Anabel Kane / Morag Key beat Val Hallam & Phyl Early 5 & 3

Day 2 - (Scotland v North of England)
Scotland did slightly better than yesterday with a win in the foursomes against North of England to go into lunch 2 matches to 1 down
Sheena Wood and Lesley Lloyd lost to Cath Rawthorne and Gill Mellor 1 hole
Alison Bartlett and Alex Glennie beat Barbara Laird and Julie Wheeldon 3 and 1
Lorna Bennett and Gillian Kyle lost to Janet Melville and Chris stokes 3 and 2
In the singles in the afternoon --
Lesley Lloyd had the most substantial win for Scotland, with a 2 and 1 victory over Barbara Laird. The other five singles matches went to the last green. Sheena Wood led the order and lost by one hole to Sue Dye. Lorna McKinlay, Gillian Kyle and Alex Glennie halved with Caroline Berry, Julie Wheeldon and Chris Stokes respectively.
Meg Sievwright, from Buckpool, made one of the most amazing come-backs in the history of the competition. Six down after 7 holes, and still six down after 10 against past British Seniors Champion, Janet Melville, she dug deep and clawed her way back to be all square playing the last. Unfortunately a lost ball in the right rough spoilt the "Come-Back Kid" story, and she lost by one hole, but all credit to her determination not to be beaten out in the country.
Sheena Wood lost to Sue Dye 1 hole
Lorna McKinlay halved with Caroline Berry
Lesley Lloyd beat Barbara Laird 2 and 1

The home division, Midlands, finished second with two wins and one loss. England South were third with one win and two losses. Scotland took the wooden spoon with no wins and three losses.
EARLIER REPORT
Scotland's singles record in the Veteran Ladies Jamboree at Sherwood Forest Golf Club, Nottingham is much better than their foursomes. Not match-winning but at least respectable.
Against the Midlands this afternoon the singles were halved with three points each, to make the result 6-3 in the Midlands favour.
Meg Sievwright led the order against British Seniors Champion, Julie Brown, and although beaten 4 and 3, she was only 1 over par.
Lorna McKinlay was one up playing the last against Lindsay Shaw, and a half in bogey 5s secured our first point.
Sheena Wood was one down playing the last against Carol Wild, and a cast iron 4 earned her half a point.
Lorna Bennett was also one down against Helen Lowe, and also won the hole to secure another half point.
Alison Bartlett beat Mary MacLaren by 4 and 3 and Lesley Lloyd went down by 5 and 4 against Sue Spencer.
