East Vets Team

 It was truly a wonderful day and the ladies enjoyed Kilmalcolm, which considering the downpours we had the previous day was still in great condition.
The East players although defeated, loved the course and had a lovely meal after the match. Thanks to Kilmalcolm G C, we were very well looked after.

GOOD LUCK TO THE SCOTTISH VETS TEAM

Donna, Gillian and Lesley 

I'm sure all West Vets will join me in sending best wishes to Donna Jackson, Gillian Kyle and Lesley Lloyd as they join the Scottish Vets team to play in the Vets Jamboree at Frilford Heath in Oxfordshire. 

All 3 were in the team which won the Mary McKenna Trophy earlier in the season, so hopefully the team can be successful again over the 3 day event which begins tomorrow 8th August.
