It's Moray v Nairn Dunbar in final of
Northern Counties Seniors Cup
By ROBIN WILSON
Moray Golf Club will go into their third final since the inception, seven years ago, of the senior version of the Northern Counties Cup at Inverness on Friday morning but to win the B D Fraser Cup for the first time they will have to beat the 2005 winners, Nairn Dunbar, in this morning's final.
Nairn Dunbar upset the home support with a stunning seven-hole win over the local team in the semi-finals.
Nairn Dunbar's Hugh Clunas and Derek Lamb won a closely contested game by one hole over Fraser Urquhart and Jim Elliot, but second pair Ian Duncan and David Bunker enjoyed a comfortable six-hole ride over Bob McAdam and Jocky Thomson.
Cruden Bay's Bill Livingston, Mike Keddie, Martin Forster and Jim Smith ended the Murcar Links' reign as champions when Livingston and Keddie finished five holes up on Murcar's John Hamilton and Clark Alexander in the all-North-East quarter-final, Forster and Smith winning by two over David Hird and Eric Morrison.
In the semi final against Moray, Livingston and Keddie won again but not by enough to offset the slide of their second string, Forster and Smith, who lost a five-hole run to Moray's Chris MacLeod and James MacPherson, finally ending three down for Moray to go through by two holes. The final tees off at 9am.
