Report of final: 

Fife County Members, Evanna Hynd, Lundin G C and Eilidh Henderson, Loretto School contested this year’s final. The first nine holes were very closely contested. Evanna took an early lead when she won the second.  The next three holes were halved, the 5^th in birdies, then Eilidh squared the match at the 6^th. Evanna went 1 up with a birdie at the 7^th and then extended her lead to 2up. Eildh won the 9^th to be only 1 down.

Evanna started the second half strongly with a birdie and also won the 11^th to go 3 up. The next three holes were all halved in par.  At the fifteenth Eilidh’s drive found a bunker and although she recovered well and had the chance to keep the game going she missed the final putt.  Evanna was our new Champion. Congratulations to both girls on their high standard of golf in a well fought match.
