THE WAY THEY WERE: NORTH-EAST GIRLS TEAM OF AUGUST, 2005

FLASHBACK to August 2005 and it's the North-east girls team who played their Northern Counties counterparts at Newmachar Golf Club. Pride of place in the front row went to two girls who went on to play for Scotland, one of them (Michele Thomson) becoming Scottish champion at Lossiemouth and gaining Curtis Cup honours in 2008 at the Old Course, St Andrews, the other (Laura Murray) winning the St Rule Trophy in 2010.
The full list of names is:
Back row (left to right): Lauren Whyte (Aberdeen Ladies), Samantha (Sammy) Leslie (Westhill), Lauren MacCallum (Newburgh) and Mhairi Johnstone (Northern).
Front row: Andrea Bowie (Monifieth), Laura Murray (Alford), Michele Thomson (McDonald Ellon), Kirsty Moss (Monifieth).

NORTH-EAST GIRLS BEAT NORTHERN COUNTIES AT NEWMACHAR


North-east beat Northern Counties, the holders, 5-3 in an annual inter-area girls' golf match for the Farquharson Trophy over the Newmachar Swailend course today (Sunday).
After wins for North-east by Laura Murray (Alford), Michelle Thomson (McDonald Ellon) and Mhairi Johnstone (Northern), countered by victories for Northern Counties by Kelsey MacDonald (Nairn Dunbar), Sammy Vass (Tain) and Nadia Green (Nairn), the match was finely balanced at 3-3.
Then Lauren Whyte (Aberdeen Ladies) and Samantha Leslie (Westhill) won the last two ties for North-east.
