MARY LOU THROUGH TO EAST LOTHIAN LAST FOUR

Recently married Mary-Lou Watkins justified her No 1 seeding in the East Lothian women's county golf championship at Luffness New Golf Club today(Monday) by winning her way through to the last four.

On a sunny but windy day with slick but true greens and some challenging pin positions, Mary-Lou won by 3 and 2 over Barbar McIntosh and by two holes over another Gullane Golf Club player, 14-year-old SLGA Academy Squad prospect Joanne Free

In the first semi-final, Mary-Lou will meet Jane Herd who won against Dawn Young and Pam Hall by 4 and 3 and 2 and 1 respectively.
The bottom half of the draw was mainly dominated by Gullane Ladies' players. Sue Penman will meet former champion Clara Young of North Berwick tomorrow (Tuesday) morning in the other semi-final.

Tuesday's Handicap Quaich  final will be contested by Anne Blundell and Dianne Brown.
