LATEST FROM PETERHEAD



Megan Aird (Strathmore) failed to make it to the second round of the scratch matchplay stages at Peterhead this morning after being defeated by 4th qualifier Pamela Prestwell. Megan did extremely well to qualify into the Scratch section of the championship. With a handicap of 14 she scored a 8 over par 71 in the afternoons qualifying round. Well done Megan.

Unfortunately 2 of our junior members Jacqueline Sneddon (Alyth) and Annabel Niven (Crieff) were drawn against each other which ultimately means one would be knockout of the competition. On the day Jacqueline Sneddon was the stronger player and won the match 4&2 and will continue on this afternoon against 2nd qualifer Jane Turner. Well done Jacqueline and hard lines Annabel, we are very proud of you both.

In the Handicap Section of the tournament Emily Aird was our only representative and unfortunately Emily was knocked out by Fiona Fullerton 3&2. Emily has only just got a handicap this year and is already down to 25. I am sure there will be plenty of other tournaments for this young girl.

Good Luck to all girls and our commiserations to the girls who were knocked out.
