EILIDH BRIGGS REACHES THE SCOTTISH FINAL BEATING HER SISTER MEGAN IN A FANTASTIC SEMI FINAL

The Final of the 2011 Scottish Ladies' Amateur Championship will be contested between Eilidh Briggs (Kilmacolm) and Louise Kenney (Pitreavie) after two semi-finals of the highest quality.

In the first semi-final between sisters Eilidh and Megan Briggs from Kilmacolm Golf Club, Megan birdied the first two holes, however that was only enough to take a one hole lead. Birdie's by younger sister Eilidh at the 4th and 6th holes quickly turned the match in her favour and a par at the 8th hole was enough to give Eilidh a two hole advantage. The next five holes were halved in pars before Megan squared the match with a birdie at the 400 yard par four 14th hole and par at the par three 15th. However, pars from Eilidh at 16 and 17 were enough to win both holes and win the match by 2 & 1.

Eilidh was approximately three under par in winning the match by 2 & 1.

The second semi-final between Pitreavie's Louise Kenney and Jane Turner from Craigielaw was another excellent match. The players exchanged birdies at the first and second holes but Louise pulled two holes clear after a par on the 3rd hole and birdie four on the par five 7th. The next five holes were halved, before Louise once again put on the pressure with another birdie at the 13th and two holes later the match was over when a bogey was enough for Louise to win the hole and the match.

Louise Kenney was approximately two under par in winning the match by 4 & 3.

Briggs vs Briggs and Turner vs Kenney

It will be Kilmacolm's Eilidh Briggs vs Megan Briggs in the first semi-final of the Scottish Ladies' Match Play Championship after Eilidh beat defending Champion Kelsey MacDonald 4 and 3 in the first of this morning's quarter-finals and Megan beat Alyson McKechin (Elderslie) 2 and 1 in the second quarter.

In the bottom half of the draw Louise Kenney remains on track to make it to the final for the third year in a row after she won a quality quarter final match against Rachael Watton on the final green. She will first have to get past Jane Turner who also won through on the last year against Susan Wood.

The final of the Clark Rosebowl will be contested between Rachel Hanlon and Ailsa Bain.
