Renfrewshire girls were runners-up to Ayrshire yesterday at Cowglen GC in the Kennedy Salver. With the new format of foursomes in the morning then singles in the afternoon against all 3 other counties, it was very close and the last 2 games on the course decided the overall result! The Renfrewshire girls had tremendous team spirit, were a credit to their Clubs on and off the course and seemed to enjoy their day.

Many thanks to all the ladies who came to support the girls and help me with the day-Extra special thanks to Beth and Dorothy Yates who were there ALL day and without whom I would not have coped!! Also, thank you to all the girls who practised so hard and to their parents for all their support.- it's much appreciated.
Thanks also go to Cowglen GC for courtesy of their course and clubhouse on Monday. I don't know if the members knew what had hit them on a normally quiet day of the week!
