Bankers beat Julie and the CAs in Aberdeen Trades final

Julie Henderson, believed to be the only girl/woman to play in the final of the Aberdeen Trades Foursomes in the long history of the double foursomes match-play tournament, finished up in the losing side over the Hazlehead No 1 course this evening.
Bankers beat the Chartered Accountants by three holes on aggregate.
The Bankers' lead-off pair of Gregor Stewart and Barry Gibson finished the 18 holes one down to the CAs' John Godward and Ian Castles.
But the Bankers' second pair of Scott Carmichael and Martin Patterson were able to make up the deficit with three holes to spare. They finished four holes to the good over Andrew Hepburn and Julie Henderson.
Muriel Thomson, now one of Scotland's few lady club professionals at Portlethen, confirmed that in her teenage years as an amateur and working in an Aberdeen bank, she played for the Bankers in the Trades Foursomes - "but we never got as far as the final, so well done to Julie!"
Result of final:
BANKERS bt CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS by three holes.
Gregor Stewart & Barry Gibson 0, John Godward & Ian Castles 1.
Scott Carmichael & Martyn Patterson 4, Andrew Hepburn & Julie Henderson 0.
