Renfrewshire players are doing well in the Scottish Championships at Longniddry with our 3 top players -- Alyson, Eilidh and Megan reaching the quarter final stages to be played tomorrow morning.
Both Briggs sisters from the Kilmacolm club are through to the last eight.
Fifth seed Eilidh, 20-year-old Stirling University physical education student, beat young Tara MacTaggart from the Borders by one hole.
Eilidh now plays Clara Young in the quarter finals.
Former champion Megan, 23, beat another past title-winner Hilary (Monaghan) Wardell (Longniddry) by 4 and 3.
Alyson McKechin (Elderslie), 19, leader of the SLGA women's Order of Merit and another who has gained something from playing on the Paul Lawrie Tour. She scraped through at the 19th in the morning against Rachael Livingstone but looked more relaxed in winning by 5 and 4 over Susan Wood (Drumpellier) in Round 2.
Alyson, joint second in the recent "Helen Holm," now plays 19-year-old Stirling student Hannah McCook (Grantown on Spey) who stopped the giant-killing run of Katie Reid in its tracks with a 4 and 3 Round 2 victory.
