Dawn, who had beaten leading qualifier Avril Ker (Craigie Hill) 6 and 5 in the morning semi-finals, was never in arrears after winning the eighth and ninth to turn with a two-hole lead. Claire fell three down with some bunker trouble at the 13th but she hit back immediately to win the next with a birdie. The last three holes were halved. Defending champion Jane Yellowlees (Murrayshall) lost in the first round of the match-play after qualifying in third place. The Gibb Trophy for the winner of the handicap section went to Carol Lambie (Dunkeld & Birnham) who beat Margaret McGlashan (Blairgowrie) by 2 and 1 in the final.
