Midlothian
will go to Ranfurly Castle [September 16-18] as East Division Champions after
beating Stirling & Clackmannan 7-2 in their final match today at Alloa Golf Club
(Schaw Park). East Lothian, who were level with Midlothian at the top of the table
at the start of the final day, were held to a 4½-4½ draw by Fife who had been
seeking to win the divisional title for the third year in a row. Midlothian had
strength in depth with both Kirsten Blackwood (Glencorse) and Claire MacDonald
(Gullane Ladies) earning 5pts apiece; Karen Marshall (Baberton) 3 ½ and Belinda
Murphy (Mortonhall) 3pts. Midlothian's champion, Claire Hargan (Mortonhall) got
all the tough ties - but lost only twice out in six outings and finished with
one win and three halved ties. Midlothian had beaten Fife 6-3 on the opening day
and drawn 4½-4 ½ with East Lothian on Day 2. Midlothian complete the line-up for
the four-corned Scottish county championship finals. Northern Counties, South
and Lanarkshire had already booked their places by winning their divisional titles.
