East Lothian Ladies Juniors win again

On the tee before the start of their final matches

Well, it was wet, misty and there were no views of the Ochils when we played against Midlothian for the morning rounds. The balls did not run, some were plugged, some found wet sand in the bunkers but our girls came away with a win in 3 out of 4 matches

The final was between East Lothian and Fife. The sun shone, the snow capped Ochils looked majestic and the conditions could not have been more different. There was a bit of wind and some of the holes played very long indeed.

The Fife reserve, Eildih Henderson, a very promising 11 year old, was called in to replace the injured Evanna Hynd who jarred her shoulder playing a shot in the morning round.

Our girls did us proud and they all went into early leads and were never behind in any of the matches.

A big THANK YOU to everyone who came out to support the girls. All the matches were played in great spirits and I was especially impressed with the sportsmanship shown by all the players and supporters of all the competing teams. The good shots were applauded and appreciated by parents and officials regardless of their allegiance.
