In the final, Jaffrey raced into the lead, going two up after three holes before Thomson birdied the fourth hole to reduce the deficit to one. Jaffrey however birdied the fifth and also took the sixth to establish a three hole advantage after six holes, which she extended to four holes following a birdie two at the eighth.
Thomson showed her mettle however, bringing herself back into the match by winning the ninth and following that with a birdie at the eleventh to reduce the deficit to two holes.

At the fifteenth hole, Jaffrey recorded another par four to halve the hole and give her the county title with a 4 & 3 win.
