The Midlothian team made a great start to the Inter County matches on a lovely warm day at Falkirk (Carmuirs) today. The team beat East Lothian by 7 points to 2. Having been 2.5-0.5 up at lunch time they thought it would be rather funny to make the officials and supporters sweat with a slow start. After 5 holes two of the team were all square with the rest all struggling somewhat. No amount of threats from the Captain seemed to ease the situation. Luckily by the back nine they seemd to see the error of their ways and realised they were there to win – and guess what? ……….. much to everyone’s relief they turned it around. Phew! We are all exhasted but happy bunnies. Looking forward to playing Fife tomorrow (7-2 winners over Stirling & Clackmannan today).
