Jul 1 2011 by Lizzie Smith, Kilmarnock Standard

AYRSHIRE will represent the west at the Scottish Women’s County Golf Championship finals at Dumfries in September.

They beat Lanarkshire 5 1/2 - 3 1/2 to clinch the west title at Kilmarnock Barassie last week.

Earlier in the three-day programme, Ayrshire beat Dunbartonshire and Argyll 7-2, and were 5-4 victors over defending divisional champions Renfrewshire, who went on to win the Scottish title last year.

Ayrshire took the foursomes 2-1 against Lanarkshire and the singles by 3 1/2 to 2 1/2.

Renfrewshire finished runners-up after a curious see-saw match against Dunbartonshire and Argyll.

They surprisingly made a 3-0 clean sweep of the singles but Renfrewshire turned the tables in the singles by winning all six for a 6-3 victory.

The team, pictured above, are Lesley Hendry, Mhairi McKay, Linzi Allan, Jenny Linklater, Rachael McQueen, Catherine Malcolm, Connie Jaffrey, vice captain Sandie Streets, president Eila Maclennan and captain Alex Glennie.
