Kelsey was beaten 7 and 6 by Renfrewshire's Eilidh Briggs who lost to Louise Kenney in last year's championship final at Machrihanish. Megan was four holes up on 17-year-old Muckhart player, Eilidh Watson, after seven holes and still three up on the 14th tee, let a place in the semi-finals for the second year in a row slip through her wet fingers.
Watson, the only P and K player to make the match-play stages, won the 14th, then the 17th with an eagle 2 against Megan's birdie 3. At the 18th Megan three-putted, finally missing on the very wet green from about 2 and a half feet and 19th to lose her tie
In the afternoons semi final Eilidh played a very much on form Laura Murray (Alford). Laura went three up at the eighth and then used her strength of the tee to wrap up victory. She birdied three long holes on the home straight - the par-5 11th, 13th and 14th, to win by 6 and 4 with two-under-par figures.
