HUGH HUNTER'S CLACKMANNAN COUNTY NEWS

NO JOY FOR ALVA AT FALKIRK TRYST

In the final of the Scottish Club Championship held at Falkirk Tryst Golf Club, the challenge of Alva Golf Club (Lawrence Allan, Steve McIvor, and Michael Robertson) did not materialise and they finished in tenth position out of the sixteen Area Club qualifiers.
With the best two scores from three to count in each round, Alva left themselves too much to do in the second round. Best in the morning round was Lawrence with a 68—one of only six sub-par scores from the field of 48.
Their score of 145 (Allan 68, Robertson 77) put them in eighth position.
In the increasingly rainy afternoon, their second round total was 151 (Allan 74, Robertson 77), giving them an aggregate score of 296, finishing tenth behind the winning team from Ballochmyle (Ayrshire).

2011 COUNTY BOYS GOLF LEAGUE.

The Clackamannan County Junior Golf League for 2011 has finished and holders Alva have retained their 2010 title. County Junior Convenor Sam Kinnaird commented “ In these difficult times for Junior Golf in Clackmannan County, the team of Alva boys have to be congratulated on a fine win this year. Most of the matches were played but unfortunately only four clubs participated and hopefully next year will see a return of the other two clubs to the competition”

FINAL RESULTS
1 Alva (5pts), 2 Braehead (4pts), 3 Alloa (3pts), 4 Tillicoultry (2pts).

CLACKMANNAN COUNTY LEAGUE

The Clackmannan County League in 2011 was well supported, with all six Clubs in Clackmannan County participating. County President George Kay congratulated Alloa Golf Club “ Over 50 golfers from the six Clubs took part in the Inter Club matches---Alloa had an emphatic win with three wins and two halves in their five matches. Hopefully some of these golfers will improve to feature in next years County teams, and we look forward to improved results”

FINAL RESULTS
1 Alloa (8pts), 2 Braehead (5pts), 3 Tulliallan (5pts), 4 Alva (4pts) 5 equal Dollar, Tillicoultry (2pts).

CALLUM IN ACTION

Tulliallan’s Callum Macaulay missed last week's Challenge Tour, but is back on the circuit at La Gomera in the Canary Islands. He must be hoping for third time lucky after making two cuts and finishing fairly well up the field recently.
