The day started off quite exciting and Midlothian players were all full of enthusiasm. Match 1 got underway against Fife who were defending their title and it all became very tense out there as most of our players if not all were all square or down against their opponents.  Team Midlothian dug deep, hung in there and fought well into the back 9. The score line was changing in favour but only slightly. We ended up triumphing in 4 games against Fife with an amazing half at the 18th going via the trees and 3 ‘good’ losses going all the way to the 17th which gave us a satisfying 4 1/2 – 3 1/2 win.

East Lothian Versus Stirling & Clackmannan in Match 2. If East Lothian was to win 5-3, The tournament office were onto the big countback which they had been preparing for updating their stats every day. It was tight most of the way for the majority of their games. Stirling & Clackmannan came through in the end with a 4 1/2 – 3 1/2 win.

Match 2 result today meant Midlothian were out right winners on 5 match points (14 game points). Second was East Lothian 3 match points (12.5 game points), 3rd was Stirling & Clackmannan 3 match points (11 game points) and fourth Fife on 1 match point (10 1/2 game points).

KAREN MARSHALL WINS THE BABE ZAHARIAS TROPHY AT MUIRFIELD


The East Lothian County Flag flew over Muirfield yesterday for the first time since the memorable day of our Spring Meeting in 2017. This time it was for the Babe Zaharias Competition and yet again the main topic of conversation was the weather. 

155 players had come from all over the UK to experience the wonderful Muirfield course and to take in the fabulous East Lothian scenery, sadly there was little of that to be seen as heavy mist shrouded the course. 

The Babe Zaharias Trophy shone some light on the scene as it was looking magnificent since its trip to the jewellers to be re-silvered.

Congratulations to Karen Marshall, (pictured above) winner of the Babe Zaharias Trophy, and to Kay Lannin, winner of the Ultraplast Trophy. Well done to all who took part and battled the elements at Muirfield!

By Colin Farquharson 

A Rose by any other name ... Alison helps Stirling and Clackmannan to draw with hosts East Lothian

Former British international Alison (Rose) Davidson won both her foursomes tie (in partnership with Laura Bisset) and her singles match by 5 and 4 as Stirling and Clackmannan dented East Lothian's hopes of winning the East Division women's inter-county team jamboree at their home venue of Dunbar.
The first day ended with East Lothian and Stirling & Clackmannan figuring in a 4.5-4.5 draw while Midlothian justified favouritism to win the title at the end of three days by beating Fife 6-5-2.5
The divisional champions will go forward to join Aberdeenshire in the four-cornered Scottish county finals at Kilmacolm Golf Club from September 14 to 16.
