The morning’s play in the Championship started with a tie between 2 of the favourites, Donna Jackson and Lesley Lloyd. This match was tight all the way until Donna clinched it on the 18th. Another 18 hole nail biter took place where Anne Shanks edged out Lynn McColl, but the tie between Roz Purdom and Lorraine Campbell had to go down the 19th before Roz proved victorious.
The other winners in round 1 were Nicky Henderson, Liz Keohone, Liz Stewart, Anabel Kane and May Hughes.
The afternoon’s play in the Championship saw more exciting games, although it was rather spoiled by rain which was not forecast to all except Morag Key !!
This time Roz Purdom could not prevail going down the 19thagain, as Liz Stewart won through to the semi-final.
Nicky Henderson and Donna Jackson served up a tight game as did Anabel Kane and May Hughes.
Congratulations go to both Nicky and Anabel for winning through to the semi-finals.
The last semi-finalist will be Liz Keohone, but I’m sure she will join me in congratulating her opponent Anne Shanks, who has done so well in her first season with the Vets.
The afternoon also saw 4 ties in the Stewart Cup, with Helen Burnet, Morag Key, Carole Hill and Glynis Rintoul progressing to the semi-finals.
The Championship Final will take place at 2pm, followed immediately by the Stewart Cup Final at 2.10pm.
Supporters will be most welcome, so please come along and enjoy the day’s play.
