SHOCKS IN BOYS' MATCH-PLAY CHAMPIONSHIP

By HUGH HUNTER

The Clackmannan county boys' match-play event produced surprises as ever.

In the first round over Alva, County stroke-play champion Rikky Alexander lost to Brian McAdam, who in turn fell in the semi-final at Tillicoultry to Scott Beattie.

With Grant Murray winning through his tie against Gregor McEwan, an all- Braehead final will be played next week.

In the junior boys' event, Jonathan Clark (Tillicoultry) won through to the final against Jamie McEwan, while Ryan Blyth reached the final without having to hit a golf shot. His opponent didn’t turn up!
