Renfrewshire qualifiers


Clare-Marie Carlton (Fereneze), last year's beaten finalist, is the leading qualifier for the match-play stages of the Renfrewshire women's county championship at Ranfurly Castle Golf Club.
In a testing east wind, Clare-Marie, pictured by Cal Carson Golf Agency, had a score of 73 (37-36) - two shots ahead of the No 2 seed, young Alyson McKechin (Elderslie).
Scottish champion Megan Briggs (Kilmacolm) is bidding to equal the record of Wilma Aitken (later Mrs Leburn) in winning the county title five years in a row from 1978 to 1982.
Megan qualified comfortably in fifth place with a 78, one shot ahead of younger sister Eilidh.
