PROS TIE WITH FIVE-UNDER-PAR 67S AT KILMARNOCK BARASSIE

ORR AND McCREADIE SHARE THE 

HONOURS IN WEST ALLIANCE 

David Orr (Mearns Castle) and fellow pro Jason McCreadie (Buchanan Castle) shared the honours in the first West of Scotland Alliance fixture of 2014.
They both hit form quickly despite their mid-Alliance season lay-off with matching five-under-par 67s - excellent scoring over the testing Kilmarnock Barassie links.
Sharing third place on 70 were North Gailes pro Bill Lockie and 17-year-old amateur George Burns (Williamwood).
Another youngster, Blair Forsyth (Drumpellier) won the leading handicap award with a net 68 off seven of a handicap.
A field of 20 professionals and 45 amateurs enjoyed their day despite being the showers.
