JAMIE McLEARY WINS EAST ALLIANCE CHAMPIONSHIP AT GULLANE

REPORT FROM ALAN GREENSHIELDS

A tricky morning with the snowy squalls that nearly stopped events but thankfully play continued to allow a new champion's name to be added to The UniRoyal Trophy for the East Alliance Championship, first played for in 1937.

Winner is Jamie McLeary (Dalmahoy) whose morning round of six under par 62 on Gullane No.3 got one hand on the trophy and with his afternoon one under par 70 on Gullane No.2 secured the trophy with an aggregate of 132,  three shots ahead of defending champion Andrew Oldcorn (Kings Acre ) on 135 (71 Gullane No.2 and  64 Gullane No.3).

Winner of the Gavin Clark Trophy for the best net score required two players to be split via the best net score on Gullane No.2 and victor was Philip Leggate (Musselburgh) on 139 (net 69 Gullane No.2 and net 70 Gullane No.3). 

Pipped to second place prize was Robin Cockburn (Harburn) also on 139 (net 72 Gullane No.2  net 67 Gullane No.3).

The event also saw the outcome of this season's Scratch Order of Merit being decided. Unfortunately the pre-event leader Andrew Erskine (Ratho Park) had to withdraw from the event due to injury. The double points on offer saw Gordon Law moving up from 2nd spot securing 1st place for the season -

1st Gordon Law (Uphall) - 641.0

2nd Andrew Oldcorn (Kings Acre) - 619.5

3rd Scott Catlin (Greenburn) - 604.5
