FALKIRK TRYST PLAYER WINS EAST ALLIANCE TROPHY AT DUNBAR

By ALAN GREENSHIELDS
Edinburgh and East of Scotland Alliance secretary
Apologies for this late report from last Wednesday's Dunbar outing. I am having problems with my internet connection at the moment and this has been my first chance to relay the results.
Dunbar hosted the sixth Edinburgh and East of Scotland Alliance event of the season with 98 players enjoying a well manicured links on a rain-free day. Wind did challenge players throughout the day and Daniel Airens of Falkirk Tryst claimed his third piece of silverware this season in winning the Ramsay Trophy by four clear shots.
Daniel's net 66 (76 less 10) was made up of a five-over-par first nine of 42 but then followed by a spendid second nine of level par 34.
Second handicap prize at Dunbar went to Alex Webster (Niddry Castle) - 70 (77 less 7) and third to Sean McGarvey 71 (71 less 0).
Fourth on 72 was split three ways via Hinton Bootland (Duddingston) 79 less 7, Hugh Fraser (Niddry Castle) 74 less 2 and Steven Lees (Dalmahoy) 81 less 9.
Top scratch prize of the day was shared by professionals Scott Grieve (Turnhouse) - 70 (35,35) and Andrew Marshall (Houston DR) - 70 (38,32). Third scratch prize went to David Patrick (Elie) 72 (38,34). Fourth was split four ways between Scott Catlin (Greenburn), Iain Wilson (Dalmahoy), George Wither (Lothianburn) and Daniel Wood (The Hirsel), all on 74.
Order of Merit now sees Sean McGarvey leading both the Scratch and Handicap lists:
