PERTH AND KINROSS TAKE NORTH OF SCOTLAND TITLE

Perth and Kinross County Team took part in the intercounty championships at Crieff at the weekend. Two Strathmore ladies were involved in the event, Dawn Butchart as Vice Captain and team member Alexandra Bushby. Perth & Kinross Team played exceptional golf and took the title for the first time in 24 years. They played Aberdeenshire, Angus and Northern Counties over Saturday, Sunday & Monday at Crieff Golf Club. This is a massive achievement for all concerned and one which will certainly stay with me for a very long time!
Alexandra not only played brilliantly for us, winning all of her 6 matches but was named as the player of the tournament! Fantastic for Alex as this is her first year playing for P&K.
P&K now go onto the Scottish Finals which takes place in September at The Hirsell Golf Club.

The team as per photo was (back row left to right) Jane Yellowlees (Murrayshall) , Fiona Ramsay (Crieff), Alexandra Bushby (Strathmore), Emma Napper (Craigie Hill), Emily Ogilvy (Auchterarder), Jillian Milne (Craigie Hill). (front row left to right) Roseanne Niven (Crieff), Vice Captain Dawn Butchart, Captain Janet Griffiths and Sally Kettlewell (Dunblane).

Results were:

Angus Saturday 7 - 2
Northern Counties Sunday 5 1/2 - 3 1/2
Aberdeenshire Monday 6 1/2 2 1/2

Many thanks to Annette, Jenny, Rhona and Gillian who came along and caddied for some of our girls on Monday.
