Molly just fails to reach the final

After a very good game in which Molly played well and in which she was 1 up for part of the match Molly Richmond lost 2&1 to Chloe Goadby, the second qualifier.
Well done Molly. You played very well all week.

Molly Reaches Semi-Finals

She outplayed her opponent over the first nine and was four up at the turn but MacGarvie fought back to square the match at 15, and went one up with a birdie at 16. 
Molly rolled in a lovely putt on 18 to square the match and take it into extra holes.
 At 19 she fired in a lovely approach, with her birdie putt just slipping past. Meantime MacGarvie's approach shot was just short of the green and she failed to get up and down to extend the match.  
In Thursday morning's semi-finals, Molly will play the No 2 seed, Chloe Goadby (St Regulus) who won her quarter-final by 2 and 1 against Claire Robertson while McWilliam was a 2 and 1 winner against Jillian Farrell (Cardross).
Justine Fulton beat her first round opponent but lost in the second round to Eilidh Crawford. Katie was unfortunate to come up against a girl with a 32 handicsp who was playing to beneath her handicao and to whom she had to give 26 strokes. Katie lost 4 and 3.
