Emily Ogilvy lost her match this afternoon against Laura Murray 5&4. Emily has done so very well to make it to the last 16. I am, as always, very proud of her acheivements.

There has been one other upset this afternoon when the number one seed Pamela Pretswell, was knocked out by Aberdeenshire's Carol Wilson.
So far these are the only results available.

ROUND ONE RESULTS

Emily Ogivly has progressed to the next round of the Scottish this morning. Emily won her match against Sheena Wood 2&1. Many congratulations go to Emily and the very best of luck this afternoon. Emily will play Laura Murray at 2pm.

Unfortunately Jacqueline Sneddon lost her match this morning to Jane Turner 3&2, our commiserations go to Jacqueline.

SCOTTISH LADIES (CLOSE) AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP

The qualifying rounds for the Scottish took place on Monday and Tuesday. The playing conditions were awful with wind and rain being the feature on both days. However I am pleased to report that two Perth and Kinross members have qualified through to the matchplay stages which commence today. They are Emily Ogilvy who qualified in 21st place and Jacqueline Sneddon who qualified 25th.

Jacqueline teed off at 8.46 playing against the number 8 qualifier Jane Turner and Emily teed on at 9.10 against the number 12 seed Sheena Wood.

Good luck to both.

COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIPS

Today saw the final day of the 2009 County Championships and we have a new county champion, Carol Muir of Craigie Hill.
