Lesley Lloyd is the West Vets Champion, two years in a row.

West Vets Captain presents Lesley Lloyd with Championship Trophy

Unfortunately the lovely weather we had for the qualifying competition at Pollok GC and on Tuesday at Renfrew GC failed materialise today. It was quite cold and blustery, making the conditions difficult for the players.

Liz Stewart and Lesley Lloyd

In the first semi final of the Championship Lesley Lloyd (Hayston) on sparkling form, she was 2 under to the turn and Liz Stewart (Greenburn) finally succumbed 5&4

Donna Jackson and Gillian Kyle

The other semi final between Donna Jackson (Troon) and Gillian Kyle (East Renfrewshire) was closely fought and they were all square at after 10, however Donna then pulled ahead and won the game 3&2.

The Championship final saw Lesley win the first two holes. They then took it in turns to win holes.

It was 2 up to Lesley at the turn. After a few halved holes, Donna pulled it back to one but Lesley stayed focused and won the game 2&1

Sheila Sneddon and Sandra MacDougall

In the Stewart Trophy, the first semi final was between Sheila Shedden (Prestwick St Nicholas) and Sandra McDougall (Kilmalcolm). Sandra was 4 down at one point, got it back to 2 and went onto win by one hole, a very exciting game.

The final in afternoon between Sandra McDougall and Fiona Armour saw the match start much the same as Sandra’s semi final, she went down 3 holes to the much stronger Fiona, who was playing really well. Sandra managed to get it back to one but Fiona eventually pulled away to win 4&2

Many thanks to the supporters who turned up to watch the play, given the weather and stayed for the prize giving.

Many thanks to all at Renfrew GC for making us very welcome for the two days, the course was in excellent condition. A special thanks to Alex Hammell, the Secretary, who was on hand early in the morning to make sure everything was in place. Also a big thanks to Liz, the only catering member of staff who looked after us, all day.
