The East Girls

The annual match between the East and West Girls was played today in brilliant sunshine at Pollok Golf Club, Glasgow.
The matches were contested in excellent spirit, with great golf being played in spite of very hot conditions. Several matches were very close, with three going to the last hole, but in the end the West Girls were successful and retained the Mhairi McKay Trophy.
