MIDLOTHIAN COUNTY WIN AGAINST SCOTTISH VETS TEAM IN FRIENDLY MATCH

Midlothian and Scottish Vets
This is SVLGA Captain Ellie Whyte’s report of our recent match v Midlothian County Ladies at Bruntsfield Links with apologies on the delay in posting this: 

Ten ladies represented SVLGA to enjoy a friendly competitive match against Midlothian County Ladies

The venue was rather special, the Bruntsfield Links Golf Club which is the 4th oldest golf club In the world. The course has recently been remodelled and is now admitting lady members so we were all excited to be amongst the first ladies to have a competition on this historic course. 

Unfortunately there were a few last minute call offs from both teams so we ended up lending Midlothian back a couple of their players.

However this meant that others enjoyed the opportunity of taking part in the match. Well done to the ladies sporting the purple and representing SVLGA for the first time. Roz Purdom, Sue Penman, Sal Shepherd, Louise Graham and wait for it, Ellie Whyte! They were partnered by stalwarts, Frances Millar, Carol Whyte, Sheena Wood, Liz Stewart and Lesley Lloyd.

Congratulations to Midlothian County ladies who won the match 3-2, we look forward to playing again next year.

Thanks must go to Bruntsfield Links Golf Club for their wonderful hospitality and to Louise Fraser, Captain of MLCGA for organising such an enjoyable match.
