P AND K TOP SEED FIONA BEATEN IN QUARTER-FINALS AT CRIEFF

Top seed Fiona Ramsay, playing over her home course, was beaten in the quarter-finals of the Perth and Kinross women's county championship at Crieff Golf Club today
Fiona had cleared her first match-play hurdle, beating the 16th qualifier, Janet Griffiths (Strathmore) 6 and 5 but that brought her up against Steph Crolla (Muckhart), the No 8 qualifier, in the afternoon.
Step won what was obviously a tight match by one hole.
In Sunday morning's semi-finals, Step Crolla will play Nicola Rob ertson (Dunblane), the No 4 seed, who beat Gwen Lambie (Dunkeld) by 5 and 4 in the quarter-finals.
The second semi-final will feature Jillian Milne (Craigiehill), the No 6 seed, and former international Emily Ogilvy (Auchterarder), the No 2 seed.
Jillian, the 2006 county champion, ousted the No 3 seed Eilidh Watson (Muckhart) by one hole in the round of the last eight while Emily beat Laura Walker (Muckhart), champion in 2008 and again last year, by 4 and 3. When they met in last year's final Laura was the winner by one hole.
