Kilmacolm field their top players in the Greenlees Match (Away)

The Greenlees team played Kilmacolm on Friday 13th and it was certainly unlucky for us as we lost 8 1/2--1/2. They fielded a very strong team with the Briggs sisters playing at 1 and 2.Thanks to Lois it was not a complete white wash!
Hopefully we will get a better result against Troon as its a home match.
