Ladies Summer Shield 2024

Saturday 17th August saw the 3rd edition of the annual Ladies Summer Shield, contested by a record number of ladies taking part, with defending champion Lori Darroch looking to make it a hat-trick of wins.

Big thank you George and Louise for the great prizes and thank you to all the staff in the Glasshouse for the afternoon gathering afterwards.

Massive well done to the eventual winner Alison Finlayson with a fabulous 21 points beating Elizabeth McConnell who finished 2nd on 18 points.
