Tara Mactaggart caused the biggest upset on Day 2 defeating top seed Jessica Meek as she secured her place in tomorrow’s Semi Final on the 18thhole at Kilmarnock Barassie. After a dominant display in the first round of matchplay, Meek was unable to overcome Minto’s Mactaggart in difficult conditions which saw play delayed for over two hours due to lightning. 
Chloe Goadby was also unaffected by the lengthy break in play, backing up a 3&2 morning victory over Clara Young with a convincing victory over Kate McIntosh in the Quarter Final
Aboyne Golf Club’s Kimberley Beveridge booked her place in tomorrow’s Semi Final with a 3&2 win over Penelope Brown. 
Completing tomorrow’s Semi Final line-up is West Kilbride’s Louise Duncan who beat Rachel Foster (Prestwick St Nicholas) 4&2 to set up a battle with Chloe Goadby. 
Tomorrow’s Semi Finals will get underway at 8.30am, with Mactaggart and Beveridge leading the way, followed by Goadby and Duncan at 8.45am. The Final will then take place in the afternoon with a 13.20 tee off.
