Elaine toppled at Linlithgow

The top two seeds in the Stirlingshire women’s county championship were knocked out at the quarter-finals stage at Linlithgow Golf Club this evening.
Leading qualifier Mhairi Hall (Bathgate) lost by one hole to Linda Allan (Falkirk Tryst), beaten in last year’s final by former Curtis Cup player and past British champion Alison Davidson (Stirling) who was unavailable to defend the title.
In Wednesday’s first semi-final, Linda will play home-course player Jill Harrison who was county champion three times in the 1980s. Harrison, the fifth seed, beat the No 4 qualifier Louise MacGregor (Falkirk) by one hole.
The other semi-final will feature No 7 seed Claire Capocci (Bridge of Allan), a 2 and 1 winner over the No 2 seed, Elaine Allison (Stirling), against No 11 qualifier Vikki Stevenson (Stirling) who beat Falkirk Tryst’s Shona Gunn by 4 and 2.
