West Girls win Mhairi Mackay Trophy !

2008-05-25T21:41:00.005+01:00

The annual match against the West Girls' which is played for the Mhairi Mackay Trophy was lucky to go ahead today after a number of the girls suffered lengthy delays in travelling to Murrayfield due to a fatal accident which caused the M8 to close for several hours. Unfortunately two of the girls from the West did not even make it through to Edinburgh to compete.

However six singles matches went ahead and were contested in great spirit , most of the games being very close.

The West Girls beat the East by 4 games to 2

Results (East names first):
Gillian Simpson lost to Eilidh Briggs 4 and 3.
Rachael Watton bt Jill Meldrum 6 and 5.
Cara Easton v Gillian Scanlan - not played.
Camilla Tait lost to Zoe Differ 2 holes
Gabrielle Macdonald bt Nicola Ferguson 3 and 2.
Stacey Cameron lost to Natasha Qayum one hole.
Rachel Hanlon v Alyson McKechin - not played.
Helen Goodwin lost to Nicky Wilson 6 and 5.

Well Done West Girls !
