Perth & Kinross win North title
with a 100 per cent record by
beating Angus 8-1

Perth & Kinross, Fife, Renfrewshire and Borders will contest the Scottish women’s inter-county team golf championship at Inchmarlo Golf Resort, Banchory from September 19 to 21.
Perth & Kinross completed the quartet of finalists with an 8-1

win over Angus in the North Division title decider at Downfield Golf Club, Dundee today .
The Perthshire team thus completed their three-day programme with a 100 per cent record, having beaten Northern Counties 6-3 on Saturday and then toppled title-holders Aberdeenshire 5-4 on Sunday.
It is P&K’s second North Division title in three years after a 23-year no-win span between 1982 and 2006.
Their star players were Curtis Cup 16-year-old Carly Booth (Comrie), pictured above right by Cal Carson Golf Agency (all rights reserved), and Scotland international Emily Ogilvy (Auchterarder), each with 5 1/2pt out of a possible six. Alexandra Bushby (Strathmore) was not far behind them with 5pt.
County champion Laura Walker, making her debut for P&K after years of representing Northern Counties, had to return to her job as a teacher before the start of the final day's play.

And their line-up could have been stronger still because it did not include Roseanne Niven (Crieff), who reached the semi-finals of the British open amateur championship at North Berwick two weeks ago and finished runner-up in the Irish open stroke-play in Dublin at the weekend.
