Thank you to Linda Robertson, President of Stirling & Clackmannan County Ladies GA, for refereeing the Final.

The match was closely contested throughout the final. Lara won the second with a par and holes were halved until the 8th which Annie won to square the match.Annie also won the 9th to be 1 up after 9 holes. Lara won the 11th and 12th to be 1up, then at the Par 5 13th, with Annie safely on the green, Lara dramatically chipped in for an eagle to win the hole. Lara was 2up. Annie was in a green side bunker at the 15th but played a lovely shot to have a chance of a birdie. Annie’s putt stayed on the edge of the hole and Lara holed her birdie putt to win the hole. The match finished  at the 16th with Lara winning 3&2.
