Inter County Matches
Day 3
The Decider!
In the foursomes, our trusty pairing of Fiona Lockhart and Elaine Moffat secured their third victory of the week with a 4 & 3 win against Claire Hargan and Belinda Murphy. This was matched by our new pairing of Krystle Caithness and Katrina Milne who battled well against Kirsten Blackwood and Claire MacDonald to win on the last. Louise and Jocelyn held on for a half in their match giving Fife a welcome 2 ½ to a ½ lead after the morning foursomes.
In the singles, Louise led well from the front (again!) for a 3 & 2 victory over Claire Hargan. This was followed by a win from Krystle who was never up in her match against Hilary Laughland until the last hole. With a tremendous win by 5 & 4 from Katrina at the tail, victory was ours. Jocelyn went on to win on the last giving Fife a win by 6 ½ games to 2 ½. Well done Fife.
