Juniors
We could only field two juniors, Rheanna Thom and Kathryn Robertson who played one of the Fife pairs for the first 9 holes and the other two for the inward 9.

Many thanks to Carol Muir and Alison Houston who kindly made up the seniors team as  Laura Walker and Eilidh Watson were attending an SLGA event at Ellie.

Our next friendly inter-county match is at Gleneagles on 14th April against Stirling and Clackmannan.

A reminder that our first County Meeting is at Alyth on 16th April and Ella Benzies is anxiously awaiting your entries.
