David Law v Paul Shields for Scottish boys'

title over 36 holes at Balgownie tomorrow

Aberdeen Hazlehead's David Law, the top seed, will meet Cambuslang's Paul Shields (Kirkhill) in tomorrow's 36-hole final of the Scottish boys' championship over the Royal Aberdeen club's links at Balgownie.
It is Law's first final but for Shields it is a repeat of last year at Southerness so far ... he will be hoping that he does not lose in the final for the second time in a row. Michael Stewart (Troon), now in America at the University of East Tennessee State, was Shields' conqueror 12 months ago.
In this afternoon's semi-finals, Law birdied the 18th hole for a one-hole victory over his arch-rival in the North-east, Chris Robb, from Kincardine O'Neil and a member at Inchmarlo Golf Centre, Banchory.
A big gallery, including David Law's mentor, former Open champion Paul Lawrie, watched the two "local lads" battle it out in an enthralling contest.
Paul Shields was never behind in winning the second semi-final by 2 and 1 over Daniel Kay from Dunbar.
The 36-hole final on Saturday will tee off at 8.30am and 1pm
Admission and car parking is free.
