Title-holder Sheena Wood (Aberdeen Ladies) was beaten 4 and 3 by Scottish Senior Women's Amateur Champion Elaine Moffat (St Regulus) in this morning's first semi-final of the Scottish Veteran Ladies Golf Association championship over the Lansdowne course at Blairgowrie Golf Club.

In this afternoon's final Elaine continued to show her class in a low scoring match. She has now ‘done the double’ holding both the Scottish Seniors and Scottish Veteran Ladies titles.

In the second semi-final, Dianne beat defending Champion, Fiona de Vries, (St.Rule) by 7&6 - Dianne's amazing putting being just too much for Fiona to overcome.

The afternoon's final was played at a fast pace in dry, breezy conditions and was a pleasure for the small band of caddies and supporters to watch.

Elaine Moffat beat Linda McDonald 5&4
