KENNY GLEN'S LAST-HOLE BIRDIE WINS HIM
GALLACHER TROPHY ON COUNTBACK

BY DUNCAN IRELAND
Edinburgh & East of Scotland Alliance secretary
A total of 82 players today for a perfect if a bit chilly day at King's Acre. You might not miss me as secretary but you'll certainly miss the weather I can pick!
A big thank you to King's Acre for having their course in perfect condition for us although I think it proved a bit too tricky for the amateurs as the professional scores were better today.
Congratulations to Kenny Glen on winning the Gallacher Trophy. His two-under-par 68 was only just good enough to beat Stevie Lamb & David Patrick on a countback on not only the last nine holes, but last six, last three - and eventually his birdie 3 at the last secured him the title.
On the handicap side of things, last year's winner David Graham will be kicking himself for finishing 7-2-7-4 for a net 73 but Harry Cartmill and Tommy Wilson were happy enough as their net 70s were enough for equal first place.
