SOUTHERNESS WIN KIRKCUDBRIGHT TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP

 

 

The Kirkcudbrightshire Team Championship was played on Monday evening at New Galloway.  Seven teams out of a possible 

eight  took part with the six best players from each club competing.  The course was in excellent condition and the main problem facing the players were "midges".  

Leading almost right to the end were the home team from New Galloway but the trophy was snatched from them when Ross Murray, finishing almost in the dark, came in with a 68 to clinch the championship for Southerness.  

All the players enjoyed an excellent meal after playing and the President Norman Russell (pictured) presented the winning team with their trophy.

The team scores were;

1 Southerness 284

2 New Galloway 287

3 Castle Douglas 294
