Renfrewshire wins Inter County Matches by narrow margin from Lanarkshire

Renfrewshire retained the West Division women's inter-county team championship after an exciting finish at Haggs Castle today.
They beat Dunbartonshire and Argyll 5 1/2-3 1/2 while their main rivals, Lanarkshire, beat Ayrshire 6-3.
Renfrewshire won title and a place in the Scottish finals by the smallest of margins over Lanarkshire - 16 ½ - 16 games .
