LYON FOURSOMES FINAL REPEAT
IS ON THE CARDS AT BALGOWNIE

A repeat of last year’s Lyon Inter-Club Foursomes final is on the cards at Balgownie on Tuesday afternoon after title-holders Aberdeen Ladies, playing on their home course, and beaten finalists Murcar Links reached the semi-finals.
Aberdeen Ladies, represented by the same quartet – Sheena Wood and Ellie Whyte, and Carol Whicher and Lesley Hardie beat Deeside by a combined 11-hole margin before eliminating the Aberdeen Ladies 2 team by four holes, thanks to a seven-up performance by Carol and Leslie in the second-string contest.
Murcar Links are also fielding an unchanged team and Laura McLardy, Carol Wilson, Donna Pocock and Frances Neish showed no mercy in beating Banchory by 20 holes and their own Murcar Links 2 team by 17 holes.
The semi-final line-up is Aberdeen Ladies v Kemnay and Murcar Links 1 v Dunecht House.
