Many congratulations go to Iona Stephen who replaced Renfrewshire's Eilidh Briggs who was unable to play in the County Team Championship finals at Montrose Links over the weekend.

Iona played on Day 1 - In the foursomes with Alyson McKechin (RLCGA Champion) against Angus -- but the Angus Pairing could do no wrong -- so it was a tough introduction to County matches as they were well beaten.

Iona did not play on Day 2 against Midlothians -- However Success on Day 3 against Dumfries - shire when Iona was selected to play in both the foursomes and singles ties and was victorious in both. 

Anne Judge travelled up to Montrose and caddied for Iona -- (pictured above)

Jean Irvine and Alison Robertson travelled up to Montrose to support the team. Jean took lots of photos at the request of your webmaster Carol Fell who was unable to attend and many thanks go to her for managing to take and transmit many photos back to me.

Renfrewshire who were the West of Scotland County Team winners finished in 3rd place in the Scottish Finals -- 1st Angus, 2nd Midlothian, 3rd Renfrewshire and 4th Dumfries-shire -- For the Last days play -- Go to the Renfrewshire County Website

2012 County Finals at Montrose

GREENLEES TEAM OUTING TO DUNDONALD

Some of the Greenlees Team Players that were at Dundonald Links

The end of season Greenlees Team outing took place yesterday at Dundonald Links in glorious sunshine.
After the awful weather on Thursday we all thought the course would be rather wet. However, it was dry and with greens lightening fast, and difficult borrows all the players struggled to score well.
 The team of Lesley Robertson, Carol Fell and Fiona Roger were the best of a bad bunch !! A lovely meal was then had at Northern Gailes and there was much chat and hilarity.
Although the Greenlees Matches have still to be completed in Division 1 Ranfurly Castle has finished in 3rd place -- The team are disappointed due to the fact that an end of season depleted Kilmacolm team has allowed Milngavie and Cathkin Braes to overtake us at the top of the leader board.
We had beaten Milngavie and Cathkin Braes in our matches.
The final match in the Division is the rearranged tie between Kilmacolm and Milngavie and Milngavie need 5.5 points from the match to win the division for the 3rd year in a row.
