The final of the West of Scotland Girls' Championship was played yesterday (Friday 16th October)

The main Championship final and the Bronze Championship were both played over Troon Portland on a beautiful autumn day and the golf certainly matched the weather.

Eilidh Briggs (Kilmacolm) defended her title by beating Mhairi McKay (West Kilbride) by 4&3. This was a very friendly match and both girls played under their handicaps sharing 8 birdies over the 15 holes played!

In the Bronze final Jorden Ferrie (Kirkintilloch) winner on Thursday of the D&A Centenary Stableford over the Carrick Golf Course sealed her 4&2 victory over Grace Mackie (Troon Ladies) with a birdie 2 at the 16th hole.
Again the golf was of a high standard with both girls playing below their handicaps.

Many thanks to those who came along to spectate and, in particular, to the Captain, Vice Captain and Ladies of Troon Golf Club for their continued support and generous hospitality

Results:
Eilidh Briggs beat Mhairi MacKay 4 and 3 and is now the 2009 champion.
Jorden Ferrie beat Grace Mackie 4 and 2 in the Bronze Championship.
