FINAL DAY

Unfortunately P&K lost out to Midlothian today 5&4. Kirsty won her foursomes and singles but Megan lost a close match against a very experienced Scottish Internationalist Gabrielle MacDonald. Dawn caddied for Megan this afternoon and was sending me texts to keep me updated, she was very impressed with her game and attitude and Gabs did say she had to play out of her skin to get a result, what a compliment to Megan who messaged me tonight to say how much she enjoyed the weekend and I am sure the memories will stay with her for a lifetime and she will become a better and more accomplished player because of this.
 Renfrewshire are county champions after 

 countback against Midlothian

Renfrewshire are the 2017 Scottish women's county champions. They finished level on the 5pt mark (2 wins, 1 draw) with Midlothian after the three-day finals programme at Glenbervie Golf Club today (Sunday). 
Earlier in the week the teams drew 4.5 in the match against each other. 
It boiled down to individual games won over the three days and Renfrewshire (16-11) had the edge over Midlothian (14-5) in that respect.
Renfrewshire won their last match 6-3 against the defending champions Dumfries-shire, taking the foursomes 2-1 and the singles 4-2.
Midlothian beat Perth and Kinross 5-4 today.
Midlothian won the foursomes 2-1 and the singles were shared 3-3.
Renfrewshire achieved only their 10^th win overall and their first since 2010 at Bothwell Castle

Megan Briggs is MVP with five wins and
sister Elaine wins four out of four!

Renfrewshire's Megan Briggs, pictured, was the MVP of the tournament with 5 wins from six outings. Sister Eilidh won all four of her matches and Carol Whyte also scored four wins out of six for champions Renfrewshire.
Eilidh  Briggs commented: “I couldn’t get a day off work on Friday, I’ve just started a new job as a PE teacher, but the team did well without me! I was 100 per cent over the weekend which was great, as I’ve not played for the county since 2014, so it was really good to come back and contribute. I was in the winning 2010 team as well, which was a duel with Midlothian too."
Midlothian had two players with four wins apiece - Gabrielle MacDonald and girls' champion 13-year-old Hannah Darling.
