WEST DISTRICT WOMANS INTER COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP - Second successive defeat for Ayrshire at Douglas Park

Ayrshire suffered a second successive defeat on day two of the West District Womans Inter County Matches at Douglas Park on Tuesday, going down by 6.5 – 2.5 to Dumbarton & Argyll.

For the second day in a row the Ayrshire team were up against it in the singles after losing the morning foursomes 3 – 0, and after Emma Hale conceded the lead singles tie at the tenth, due to an injured wrist, Ayrshire’s task was much harder.

Defeat for Lorna Ronnie in the second tie ensured a win for Dumbarton & Argyll.
