ABERDEENSHIRE ARE THE 2018 COUNTY TEAM CHAMPIONS

Aberdeenshire - 2018 County Team Champions

Renfrewshire County are Runners Up

Aberdeenshire won the Scottish women's county championship for the first time since 1986 in a nail-biting finish to the three-day finals at Kilmacolm Golf Club today.

It couldn’t have been closer  with Aberdeenshire recording 15.5 points, pipping Renfrewshire by half a point, with Midlothian another half point behind on 14.5 points.

In the final day’s matches, Aberdeenshire came flying out of the blocks against Renfrewshire winning all of the morning foursomes to take a 3-0 lead into lunch.

In the afternoon singles matches, Sammy Leslie (Murcar Links) defeated Alyson McGinnigle (Cowglen) 3&2 and Kimberley Beveridge (Aboyne) overcame Donna Jackson (Troon Ladies) 4&3. 

The experienced Sheena Wood (Aberdeen Ladies) and Curtis Cup player Shannon McWilliam (Aboyne) both halved their matches against Gillian Kyle (East Renfrewshire) and Megan Briggs (Kilmacolm) while there were victories for Renfrewshire’s Eilidh Briggs (Kilmacolm)  and Jennifer Rankine to end the match 6-3. 

Match of the day was between Renfrewshire’s Jennifer Rankine (Haggs Castle) and Jasmine Mackintosh (Hazelhead) who were both round in 66  and Jennifer finishing birdie 2 and chipping in for a birdie  3 at the 18th to win the tie. In fact at the 12 th Hole they both nearly had holes in one to half the hole in 2 !!

Aberdeenshire last won the title in 1986 when Sheena Wood was in that team -- She has now been playing in the team for 35 years !!
