NORTH-East beat Northern Counties in the annual inter-area girls' match
for the Farquharson Cup at Meldrum House Golf Club, Oldmeldrum in Aberdeenshire
on Saturday.
The scoreline in North-east's figure in the eight-singles fixture was
6-2.
The last time Northern Counties won the trophy was in 1992.
Sharon Main (Moray) gave Northern Counties a good start by beating Angus
women's champion and Scotland girl international, Dawn Dewar (Monifieth)
by 2 and 1.
Sharon was one up on the 17th tee after what had been a very tight contest
which came to an end when Dawn lost a ball off with her drive and lost
the hole and the match.
North-east then took a grip on proceedings with victories by Sjavon Wilson
(Murcar), Katie Thomsn (Kintore), Roseanne Niven (Crieff) and Caroline
Henderson (Cruden Bay).
That made the overall scoreline 4-1 in North-east's favour before Ashley
Clark (Duff House Royal) put a second point on the board for Northern
Counties by beating Vikki Riddell (Turriff) by 3 and 2.
Then North-east took the last two singles with wins by Sara Thomson (Murcar)
and Laura Murray (Alford).
Elaine Farquharson-Black (Deeside), skipper of the Scotland team which
almost won the women's home internationals title at The Berkshire, Ascot
last month, presented the trophy to Dawn Dewar, the North-east playing
captain.
