The Kennedy Salver was played today at Erskine and the Junior girls from Ayrshire, Dunbartonshire, Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire competed in Foursomes and Singles to win the trophy which was being defended by Renfrewshire.
The morning was a little bit damp to begin with but the rain dispersed and our Renfrewshire girls showed great team spirit by winning two out of the three matches. The spectators did feel that it was a bit cold and were delighted to return to the clubhouse for hot soup and sandwiches!
The afternoon was dry with strong winds coming up the Clyde and they had to contend with keeping the ball under control when it was behind and probably at least a two/three club difference when playing into the wind. It was a good test of their golf.

In the end all the scores were very close with Ayrshire winning the Kennedy Salver from Renfrewshire by half a point.

The final scores were Ayrshire 5 1/2 Renfrewshire 5, Dunbartonshire and Argyll 4 Lanarkshire 3 1/2

We all wish to express our thanks to Erskine Golf Club for allowing us the courtesy of the course which was in great condition and also to the club/catering staff for looking after our inner needs.

Very many thanks also to Maureen Mitchell, Liz Hale and Jinty Rodger...our Junior sub committee and especially to Freda Tuck for all her work on the computer.

We now look forward to next week at Barassie when the Senior team will be defending their West of Scotland County Title at the Inter County Jamboree. (More Anon!)
