Edinburgh and East of Scoland Alliance report

Gordon Law, Alan Reid tie on

64 at Dalmahoy West


By ALAN GREENSHIELDS
Secretary, Edinburgh and East of Scotland Alliance
Despite a frosty start the Edinburgh and East Alliance managed to get play under way at Dalmahoy (West) yesterday by 8am with 96 players taking part.
The overall winner on the day could not singled out and the Pitreavie Trophy will we shared by professionals Gordon Law of Uphall and Alan Reid of West Lothian.
Their gross scores of 64 were looked at for countback solutions without success and after much deliberation a tie was the only fair result. Their gross score also beat the best handicap score of 65 which was shared by Stuart Brown of Glencorse and William Laing of Prestonfield.
A late charge from Kingsknowe professional Chris Morris nearly changed things after word came in that his outward nine totalled 29 shots but a higher inward of 37 shots meant he secured third scratch with his 66.
Chris, however, has the consolation of recapturing pole position of the scratch order of merit from Scott Grieve of Turnhouse and leads with 284 points to Scott's 265.
Alan Young of Lochend holds on to the handicap order of merit pole position with 78.5 points and leads from George Wither of Lothianburn with 68 points.
Trainee prize went to David Patrick of Elie with a 68 and the Senior Prize was split three ways between Stephen Gilhooley (Duddingston), Colin McLachlan (Glenbervie) and William Smith (Harburn) with their net 67s.
Next outing is on December 8 at Eyemouth.
