Midlothian beat title-holders Fife in what should be the decisive match of the East Division women's inter-county team golf championship at Falkirk Golf Club today. Midlothian took a 2-1 edge over the Scottish champions in the morning foursomes and also claimed the singles by a single point, 3 ½-2 ½ for a 5 ½-3 ½ overall scoreline. Having beaten East Lothian 7-2 on the opening day, Midlothian should clinch a place in the Scottish county finals at Baberton Golf Club in September with a last-day victory over pointless Stirling & Clackmannan who took the singles 3 ½-2 ½ from East Lothian today but lost the match 5-4. Fife finish off by playing East Lothian but they would need underdogs Stirling & Clackmannan to beat Midlothian while they themselves scored a big margin win over Tuesday details: MIDLOTHIAN 5 ½, Foursomes – Jane Turner & Rachel Watton bt Louise Kenney & Linday Dyball 5 and 4; Karen Marshall & Louise Fraser bt Susan Jackson & Karin Sharp 2 and 1; Claire Hargan & Wendy Nicholson lost to Fiona Hastie & Elaine Moffat 2 and 1 (2-1). Singles – Turner lost to Kenney 6 and 4, Watton bt Hastie 2 and 1, Fraser lost to Jackson 1 hole, Kirtsten Blackwood halved with Lorna Fury, Hargan beat Sharp 3 and 1, Claire MacDonald bt Moffat 3 and 2 (3 ½-2 ½). Foursomes – Lesley Nicholson & Emma Fairnie bt Linda Allan & Louise Macgregor 4 and 3; Line Mortensen & Fiona Prior halved with Vicki Stevenson & Lesley Gibb; Ruth Carroll & Jane Herd bt Claire Capocci & Jill Harrison 2 holes (2 ½-1/2).
