Carmen Griffiths (14) through to Aberdeenshire semi-Final
By Colin Farquharson
Aboyne's 14-year-old junior member Carmen Griffiths has followed up her gaining of the top match-play seed berth by reaching Sunday morning's semi-finals in the Aberdeenshire women's county golf championship at Banchory.
She had a gritty 2 and 1 win over five times county champion Sheena Wood (Aberdeen Ladies) to reach the last four and will now play Vikki Thom (Kemnay) in the first semi-final. The other tie will be contested by four times championship winner Sammy Leslie (Murcar Links) and Julie Lees (Westhill), the No 2 seed.
The handicap championship final will be between Vicki Neish (Murcar Links), who plays off 16, and Michelle Finnie, an 11-handicapper at Aberdeen Ladies.
