Alison Mitchell (Ranfurly Castle) however, was not so lucky when she slipped down a bank at the fifth hole in the morning round and fell heavily on her left ankle. X-Rays revealed no broken bones but damaged tissues will keep her off any golf course until they heal.

Girls' (Close) Championship

Kelly Brotherton, the leading qualifier by 11 strokes at the start of this week's BP Scottish girls golf championship at Newmachar, ended it by winning the title today with a 3 and 2 win over Krystle Caithness (St Regulus) who had beaten Kate O' Sullivan (Cochrane Castle) in the semi finals

CHAMPIONSHIP RESULTS
Quarter-finals Kelly Brotherton (Tulliallan) beat Gemma Webster (Hilton Park) 3 and 1. Sjavon Wilson (Murcar) beat Sally Kettlewell (Dunblane New) 7 and 5. Kate O'Sullivan (Cochrane Castle) beat Emma Fairnie (Minto) at 19th. Krystle Caithness (St Regulus) beat Laura Murray (Alford) 2 and 1.
Semi-finals Brotherton beat Wilson 3 and 2. Caithness beat O'Sullivan 2 and 1.

Kate, a member of last year's Scottish girls team matched Krystle's steady play and was 1 up after 12 holes.. Krystle squared the match at the 13th, halved the next and then went one up with a par 3 at the 15th. She was then bunkered in two at the long 16th but came out of the sand splendidly and holed a 5ft putt for a birdie 4 to go two up. Krystle then birdied the long 17th to clinch her place in the final.

However, many congratulations to Kate on an outstanding performance and we look forward to her progress as one of the future Renfrewshire County Team Players

Kate O'Sullivan (Cochrane Castle) reached the last 8 in the BP Scottish Girls Championships played over Newmachar today..

Thursday 3rd July 2003:

Carol Whyte and Maureen Skinner were the star performers at the July County Medal played over Gourock today. Carol was the overall winner with a scratch 76 net 71 and Maureen had a 78 net 73. Both were excellent scores and with the SSS 73 going up to a CSS 75 they have both reduced their Handicaps to 4.6 and 4.8 respectively.

On asking Carol how her golf has been going, she said that she has reduced her handicap from 5.8 to 4.6 since the beginning of June and this has been due to the help of Karyn Burns.
