Aberdeenshire in the lead
Aberdeenshire are the only team with a 100 per cent record at the end
of two days' play in the North Division women's inter-county team golf
championship at Glenisla, Alyth.
Shire followed up a 5-4 win over defending champions Northern Counties
on Saturday with a 6-3 win against Angus.
Northern Counties bounced back from their first-day disappointment to
score a 7-2 win over Perth & Kinross who had beaten Angus 5-4 in the
opening match on Saturday.
Aberdeenshire took a stranglehold on the outcome of their match against
Angus yesterday (Sun) by make a clean sweep of the three foursomes.
Sheena Wood, Christine Middleton and Jill Harrison were the Aberdeenshire
winners in the singles which were shared 3-3.
Northern Counties led 2-1 after the foursomes against Perth & Kinross
and then took control of the singles, winning them by a 5-1 margin with
wins by Liz McKinnon, Cara Gruber, Pat McLennan, Jenny Milne and teenager
Sharon Main.
The championship ends on Monday with Perth & Kinross playing Aberdeenshire
while Northern Counties face Angus. It looks like Aberdeenshire are going
to qualify for the Scottish county finals at Portpatrick Dunskey in September
... but one never knows in county golf!
