Midlothian women's golf team are on course to repeat last season's divisional and national championship double victory.
They retained the East Division title at Turnhouse GC today, recording three wins out of three against Fife, East Lothian and Stirling and Clackmannan.
They signed off with a comprehensive 7 1/2-1 1/2 win over East Lothian who at one time dominated the division.
International Jane Turner (Craigielaw) was Midlothian's leading points provider with 4 1/2 out of a possible 6. Wendy Nicholson came next with four.
Three of the four teams who will contest the Scottish county finals at Montrose Links in September are now known - Midlothian, Renfrewshire and Angus. The South Division jamboree will complete the field.
