Angus boys' team trials at Monifieth

Angus county boys had their annual team trials at Monifieth Links today, invoving 12 under-18s, six under-16s and six under-14s.
In the morning, the under-18s played a challenge scratch match against the under-16s and 14s which they won by a comfortable margin of 5-1, the only success for the younger players coming from SGU Academy pairing of Calum McKay and Ross Munro from Monifieth against SGU national squad member Ross Storrier and Downfield clubmate Reece Mitchell by one hole.
The afternoon trials were more evenly balanced matches between same age-group boys. Junior conveners Alex Reid and Alex McKay declared the day a great success for all involved and extended a warm welcome to new under-14s Sean Gallacher, Jamie Ferguson, Ross Devany and Jamie Beedie.
