We were met by a very warm welcome by the West Vice Captain June Lockhart and her team. We were served Tea/Coffee and Bacon/Sausage rolls before the match.The weather was sunny and warm all day, everyone played in polo shirts.The ladies vice captain of Kimacolm Susan Reid announced each team on the tee and wished everyone a good time.

The course was in fantastic condition and the views were beautiful. Everyone had a great time.

Shots of the matches had to go to the second group out at the par 3 second hole.Dorothy's tee shot bounced left off the back of the right hand bunker,bounced of the next bunker onto the green and rolled to 2 feet from the pin. Marion for the west followed.Her tee shot went right of the green hitting the wall on the right and kicking onto the green to finish 5 feet from the pin.Cathy missed her putt for the west leaving Joanne to hole her putt for a 2 to win the hole for the East.

The matches were played in great spirit.

We were treated to a fabulous meal after which I presented the Friendship Trophy to June and thanked all involved, saying that we looked forward to winning it back next year.
