EAST OF SCOTLAND GIRLS CHAMPION AT KIRKCALDY

FROM THE EAST OF SCOTLAND GIRLS WEBSITE
The 2011 East of Scotland Girls Championship got underway at Kirkcaldy G.C this afternoon with exciting and closely fought quarter-final matches .
The first match saw the top seed, Gabrielle Macdonald, beat Alexis Hutton by 5 and 4. Both girls are in their last year as juniors and neither had taken the championship title before. However, Alexis, who has always been a great supporter of the East Girls, unfortunately did not bring her 'A' game with her today.
In the second match Alison Goodwin, last year's beaten finalist, won herself a place in the semi-finals by beating Shannen McGuire, winner of the Summer Meeting, at the 19th in a very close match.
The third match saw clubmates Hannah Scott and Kate McIntosh of Broomieknowe battle it out for a chance of a place in the semis. Hannah dominated the match until Kate fought back on the last few holes to manage to take the match to the 19th and win the hole and the match.
In the final match promising young player Sophie Maguire played some great golf to beat No 2 seed Lesley Atkins of Gullane by two holes.
