BRORA FOUR-DAY REPORT FROM ROBIN WILSON

Three former winners of the Clynelish Salver will appear in Friday's semi finals of the Brora four-day competition - local Roddie Cameron (2005 and 2008 winner), Dougal Chalmers (Panmure) (1985) and Iain Powell (Murcar Links), the holder and winner also in 2002.   

Completing the semi-final line-up which has Cameron drawn against Powell is local Liam MacDonald-MacLeod who is making his first appearance in the event at this stage and today meets the 1985 winner, Chalmers.

MacDonald-MacLeod has his eyes set on becoming a teaching and club professional at the end of this season and this is the first time he has got past the first round.

In round two he accounted for the 2010 winner Euan Polson (The Nairn) on the last green.

Cameron beat the leading qualifier, Deeside's Andrew Powell, with a birdie on the 16^th green while  Powell's younger brother Iain cruised past first time scratch qualifier, local youth Owen MacLennan, after 15 holes.

Chalmers at 54 is the oldest of the four semi-finalists and he produced an eagle 2 on the first hole to proceed to his 5 and 4 win over Cameron's son Neil, a greenkeeper at Castle Stuart.
