Top seed Mary Smith plays title- holder Lorna Bennett
in seniors' semi-final
By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Tain's Mary Smith is on course for a double whammy in the Scottish senior women's amateur championships at Deeside Golf Club.
Having won the stroke-play title on her debut appearance earlier in the week, Mary, as No 1 seed, is through to the semi-finals of the match-play championship for the over-50s.
She beat Ann Smart (Banchory) 2 and 1 and former Curtis Cup player Suzanne Cadden (Cardross) 3 and 1 to reach the last four at the first attempt.
In Friday morning's first semi-final, Mary will play the defending champion Lorna Bennett (Ladybank).
Jill Harrison (Cruden Bay), pictured above by Cal Carson Golf Agency, still a regular member of the Aberdeenshire women's county team, is also making her debut in the seniors' championship week and she will play St Andrews hotelier Fiona De Vries (St Rule) in the other semi-final.
Jill, Aberdeenshire champion in 1995, knocked out the No 2 seed, Moira Thomson (North Berwick), a former Scottish girls champion, by 2 and 1 in the quarter-finals.
De Vries won the seniors' stroke-play title in 2006 and is a formidable competitor.
