Well done Gillian. Also posting good scores were Sheena Peackock with 24 points and Chris Tinker with 21. It is certainly getting close at the top now and all to play for. The full results up to todays date are as follows:


Gillian Alladice and Marion Robertson share the top postition with 241 points, Birtie Buckette is next in line with 236 points then Sheena Peacock with 233 points.

CONGRATULATIONS!!

Congratulations go to the all the Team Members who represented Strathmore in the Mail on Sunday Team event. Our team won our first round match on Saturday morning against Kirriemuir and now progress to the next stages of this National Team Event.

The Team members were Chris Tinker, Birtie Buckett, Gillian Allardice, Rhona McGeoghegan and Team Captain for the day Marion Robertson. Both Gillian and Birtie won their matches and Marion halved hers. This made the team scores 2 1/2 and 2 1/2. As Marion was player number 5 she then had to make a nail biting trip up the 19th to decide the overall result. Marion kept her cool however and won the match on the first extra hole.

Well done to all the Ladies who played, this is a great result for Strathmore in our first ever appearance in the event.

I did text the result to Annette whilst on her holiday in Australia, she was delighted and asked me to pass on her congratulations to the team.

I will keep you posted as to our next opponents and when this will take place.

Well done all.
