SCOTTISH AREA TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
LOTHIANS v ANGUS IN SUNDAY'S FINAL
Eleven times champions Lothians are on the trail of another Scottish men’s area team golf championship victory.
They toppled the title-holders, Renfrewshire, in the first semi-final at wet and windy Glasgow Gailes Golf Club today (Saturday), despite trailing 2-1 after the foursomes.
Lothians showed their strength in depth by taking the singles 5-1 for an overall 6-3 victory.
Their opponents in the final will be Angus who beat Perth & Kinross 5 ½-3 1/2 after taking the foursomes 2-1.
Perth & Kinross wiped out the lunchtime deficit with Scottish champion Kevin McAlpine beat Ross Coull by 2 holes in the top singles followed by a 4 and 3 win for Gavin Deat over Graham Bell.
Then Angus steadied ship and won three singles off the reel by Gary Tough, Alastair Grant and Chris Heslip. That gave Angus the 5pt minimum they needed for victory.
Angus have never won the Scottish area team championship.
