DUNBARTONSHIRE & ARGYLL LEAD WEST
DIVISION WOMEN’S INTER-COUNTY TABLE


Dunbartonshire & Argyll moved into a marginal lead in the West Division inter-county team golf championship table at Prestwick St Nicholas Golf Club today.
After a draw with Lanarkshire on Monday, D&A dented the 100 per cent record of title-holders Renfrewshire by beating them 5-4.
In the other match, Ayrshire beat Lanarkshire 5-4 which all but ends the latter’s hopes of going forward as divisional champions to the Scottish county finals at Tulliallan Golf Club at the end of next month.
D&A lead with 1 1/2pt (one win, one draw) from Renfrewshire and Ayrshire 1pt (one win each) and Lanarkshire 1/2pt (one draw).
In Wednesday’s final programme, D&A play Ayrshire and a win would secure them the title.
Renfrewshire looked well on their way to a second win when they led D&A 2-1 after the foursomes and then took the top two singles through Megan Briggs and Claire-Marie Carlton.
But D&A wrapped up the last four singles for a notable come-from-behind victory through Sara Bishop, Anne Laing, Gemma Webster and Kylie Walker.
Ayrshire led Lanarkshire 2-1 after the foursomes and then won the top two singles through Lesley Hendry and Debbie Watt. Catherine Malcolm got Ayrshire’s clinching point.
