 Championship Semi-Finals 

Eilidh Briggs (Kilmacolm) played Liz Stewart (Greenburn). Eilidh played some phenomenal golf considering the conditions and was 5 under over 10 holes making life extremely difficult for her opponent Liz. -- Eilidh won 9 and 8.

Alyson McGinnigle (Cowglen) played Gillian Kyle (East Renfrewshire) in the second semi-final. This was a closely contested match with both players demonstrating excellent golf under difficult conditions. Gillian eventually won the match on the 18th.

 Irvine Trophy (Handicap) Final

 This final saw Jan Macnab (Ranfurly Castle) play Morag Little (Whitecraigs). As the rain continued to fall, conditions became very tough for both players but their standard of golf remained very high. It was a tightly contested match with Jan eventually winning on the 18th hole. 

Championship Final 

Although it was dry overhead for the afternoon thriller between Eilidh Briggs (Kilmacolm) and Gillian Kyle (East Renfrewshire) the conditions underfoot remained challenging. The front 9 was closely contested with a number of birdies from both players.
Eilidh, however, triumphed over Gillian in the back 9 winning the match on the 15th hole.
Eilidh was 4 under par and Gillian 1 over par when she finally won the title for the 6th time.
