By ALAN GREENSHIELDS

The East Alliance took a break from normal stroke-play today when members invited guests to play in a greensomes competition for the Richardson and Brownlee Salver.
Ninety-two players enjoyed some kinder weather which felt tropical compared to that of recent weeks.
The trophy winners were East Alliance vice-president Andy Marshall (pro at Houston Driving Range) along with guest Stuart Mason (Cawder) who carded an excellent net 64.4 (66 less 1.6).
Second place went to Roy Murray (West Lothian) and pro Graham Fox (East Kilbride).
The top scratch prizes went to members of local club Harrison located at The Braids. Winner with a 66 were Mike Robson and his guest Dougie Waugh (Baberton).
Runners-up were Justin White and his guest Brian Soutar (Leven) with a 67.
Stroke play resumes next week when the East Alliance heads down the coast to The Glen at North Berwick.
