BLAIRGOWRIE V DUNBRACKEN MATCH RESULT

Today a team of six ladies travelled to Gleneagles for our annual match against Dunbracken Ladies. This was a very different away fixture, in that teams from Panmure and Elie also took part, making a total of four clubs. Six teams of four, one from each of the clubs, played the Queen's Course in a team Stableford format. Although the weather was slightly damp in parts, the course was in excellent condition and all the ladies thoroughly enjoyed the experience. After the match a light meal was served and the scores announced. Congratulations go to Barbara Lyburn who was in the winning team!
Many thanks go to the team, Margaret Hunter, Barbara Lyburn, Avril Smith, Katie Chapman, Meriel Walker and Nancy Keddie, for representing our club.
