Renfrewshire go through to the Scottish women’s county golf finals at Inchmarlo Golf Centre, Banchory from September 19 to 21 as West Division champions.

Renfrewshire finished the programme with two wins and a draw for 5pt, one ahead of Ayrshire who had two wins and one defeat.

County Jamboree Day 2 Results -- Title up for grabs

Dunbartonshire & Argyll were beaten by Ayrshire and Renfrewshire drew with Lanarkshire in the West Division women’s inter-county team championship today
The title is now up for grabs on the final day at Hilton Park Golf Club tomorrow
Renfrewshire head the table after Day 2 with 1 1/2pt, following up their first-day win over Ayrshire with a 4 ½-4 ½ share of the spoils with Lanarkshire.
Renfrewshire’s Eilidh Briggs got a hole in one at the short sixth.
Lanarkshire took a 2pt lead in the foursomes but were pegged back by Renfrewshire’s four successes in the singles by Sara McCorkell, Megan Briggs, Claire-Marie Carlton and Donna Jackson.
Ayrshire jumped into a 3-0 lunchtime lead by making a clean sweep of the foursomes but Dunbartonshire & Argyll almost, but not quite, turned the tables in the singles with wins by Kylie Walker, Gemma Webster, Judy Galbraith and Louisa Ruane .
The final-day matches are Renfrewshire against Dunbartonshire & Argyll and Ayrshire against Lanarkshire. If Renfrewshire win, then they will go to the Scottish county finals at West Division champions in September. If they don’t, then the pocket calculators will be needed to sort out a potential logjam at the top of the table.
Whatever happens the stage is set for some thrilling action, enough to make everyone forget about the midges!
