Sisters Emma and Lucy Morrison, Megan Linton and Lucy Hall earned their place in the record books as they joined forces with Sam Hall and Mark Brooks in a 4-2 win at Glencorse.

“This is at a time when there is supposedly a declining number of young girls playing the game,” said Craigmillar Park club captain George Hunter.

“We could have fielded a whole team of girls as we also have Emily Rigg and Georgina Ledingham, the handicap winner in last week’s Scottish Girls Championship at Baberton.”
