The Jamboree – Day 2

Day 2 started wet and miserable but the greens were still playable and the pin placements selected were intended to avoid the problem of flooding greens.  In the end the weather changed a little and we did not have the heavy rain and winds were not as strong a previously  forecast,  it was still wet but not as bad.

The team enthusiasm was not unfortunately converted into points and Stirling and Clackmannan had the benefit of home knowledge as well as in form players. Lauren & Lesley could not quite find the form that gave us such an exciting finish to Day 1 foursomes and while Jill with new partner Pam and Hazel and Mary Lou put up good fights we went in to lunch 3-0 down.

In the afternoon singles, Stacey Cameron fought back from 3 down at one stage only to lose at the 17th. Lauren also fought back to close the gap but her game also ran out at the 17th. Hazel found herself out gunned. Alyssa started well with a birdie at the first hole as she had the day before but could not maintain the the charge. Jill and Mary Lou were on the back foot from the start of their respective matches though Jill rallied and managed to take her match to the 16th.

Fife were also well beaten by Midlothian (1-8) so we enter Day 3 fighting to avoid the wooden spoon but not down hearted.
