Noreen Fenton has won the Scottish Senior Ladies' Match Play Championship at Portpatrick Dunskey Golf Club after a superb final against Heather Anderson.

There was never more than one hole in the match with the lead exchanging hands throughout the course of the final. Heather birdied the 1st with a birdie four before Noreen won the 2nd with a par and Heather went back to one up with a par at the 4th. Noreen squared the match once again with a birdie 3 on the 365 yard 5th hole and then took the lead for the first time at the 8th hole with a par four. Heather once again squared the match with a birdie 2 at the tricky par three 11th hole.

The next four holes were halved before Noreen once again took the upper hand. She put her approach shot at the par four 16th hole to 6 feet and sunk the putt to go one up. That proved decisive as the final two holes were halved in pars to give Noreen a 1 hole victory.
