PAUL SHIELDS LEADS BATTLE TROPHY BY TWO

Halfway leader David Booth from Rotherham took 40 shots for the inward nine and fell out of the pole position with a third-round 75 this morning in the Battle Trophy 72-hole SGU Order of Merit event over Crail Golfing Society's Craighead course.
Paul Shields (Kirkhill) swept past into a two-stroke lead with a 69 for seven-under-par 209 - two shots of Booth and Fraser McKenna (Balmore), winner of the Scottish Champion of Champions tournament at Leven a fortnight ago.
