Midlothian win Scottish County Finals

Midlothian are County Champions for 2013 after a nail biting finish on Sunday at Stirling Golf Club..  Midlothian won their morning foursomes against the Borders 2-1 and Aberdeenshire trailed Renfrewshire by the same margin.  With Aberdeenshire only needing a half match to take the title it appeared their destiny was still in their hands, however Renfrewshire still had a chance for the title and they ran out eventual winners 5-4. Midlothian knew they needed to win all of their singles matches to be in with a chance and they managed that in convincing style.  As the three teams all had 2 match wins it went down to a countback and with the game points tied it all came down to holes played in winning matches with Midlothian beating Aberdeenshire by 1hole.
