Captain Gillian, Vice Captain June and all the Team would like to say a MASSIVE thank you for all the Renfrewshire support they had at Glenbervie at the County Finals. Whether it was good luck messages prior to and during the Finals, supporters coming for the day dressed in pink or the caddies giving up their time to guide their players round and keep them calm-they were all vital to the Team's success. The Team gave it their all in every match as they knew that each half point added up and was vital. The pink support dotted all around the course helped so much to make sure they never gave up, even if their match was tough. We look forward to the opportunity to defend the title next September at Kilmacolm Golf Club. Thank you ALL again.
Many congrats go to Megan Briggs who was the MPV player (Most Valuable Player) of the tournament with 5 wins from six outings.

Playing captain Gillian Kyle helped guide Renfrewshire to a first success in the Scottish Women’s County Finals since 2010 over glorious Glenbervie. Kyle’s charges edged out Midlothian for the title after an exciting closing day’s play at the Stirlingshire venue, with Perth & Kinross and Dumfriesshire also contesting the three-day Finals competition. Played in a round-robin format including foursomes and singles ties, both matches finished level on Friday, but Renfrewshire’s 5.5 – 3.5 win over Perth & Kinross on Saturday and their 6 -3 victory over Dumfriesshire today ensured they accumulated more overall points than Midlothian (16 – 11 compared to 14.5 -12.5). In a well-contested event, first played in 1909, Renfrewshire achieved only their 10th win overall and their first since 2010 at Bothwell Castle. With Scotland internationalist Eilidh Briggs producing four wins from four over the weekend, and backed up by her sister and fellow Kilmacolm member, Megan, Renfrewshire were in fine form. Cochrane Castle’s Donna Jackson, a member of the winning team in 1987 and 2010, also played her part for her own personal hat-trick of triumphs, with Denise Cowan (Ranfurly Castle), Jennifer Rankine (Haggs Castle), Carol Whyte from Milngavie and Greenburn’s Liz Stewart also in the line-up. East Renfrewshire’s Kyle said: “It was very exciting. Every match was very close and we just managed to pip Midlothian. We’ve been quite good at foursomes this week and that was important for us. “The Briggs girls did a great job for us, as did Jennifer Rankine. We had a great mix of young and old.” Eilidh added: “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.” Runners-up Midlothian featured Broomieknowe’s Hannah Darling, the youngest ever winner of the Scottish Girls earlier this season aged 13, and Scotland internationalist Gabrielle Macdonald (Craigielaw). > View final scores Women’s County Finals by CLICKING HERE
