Heather Campbell has had a good start to the season and she took second place on 34 points, with a couple of excellent pars on the inward half helping her along the way.
Carole Cameron took third place on 33 points and she also did her best work on the front nine in a solid round overall. Pauline Craig and Alison Ross were next best after both posted scores of 31 points.
