Jill McNicoll retains East Lothian 

county title over home course

Jill McNicoll (Gullane), pictured left, has retained the East Lothian women's county championship over her home course. This afternoon, in difficult conditions of heavy rain and wind, Jill beat Audrey Dunnett (Royal Musselburgh) by 4 and 3 .

It was a fairly even game with Audrey taking the first hole and Jill the second followed by several halved matches before Jill started to edge slowly ahead.  Audrey got caught up in the wet rough on the long 15. Jill hit the green in regulation and a shake of the hands followed soon after.

Thanks to East Lothian captain Elaine Dick for the above information and all the pictures.
