Defending champions Renfrewshire were overpowered in the foursomes by Midlothian who led 2.5-0.5 at lunch-time on Day 1 of the County Finals at Kilmacolm.
However with the help of County Champion Eilidh Briggs who had been unable to play in the morning due to work commitments - the team bounced back off the ropes to win five of the six afternoon singles for an overall 5.5 - 3.5 victory - a remarkable recovery -- with wins also by Megan Briggs, Jennifer Rankine, Donna Jackson and Liz Stewart
