EUROPEAN MEN'S CLUB TROPHY CHAMPIONSHIP GRAND FINAL AT PRAVETS

 GLENBERVIE GO FOR GLORY IN 

BULGARIA (October 23 to 25)

NEWS RELEASE FROM SGU 
Glenbervie next week seek to become the first Scottish club in 20 years to land the European Men’s Club Trophy in Bulgaria.
The Stirlingshire club are flying the flag on European soil, having come through qualifying in some style at the TSG Scottish Club Championship last month. 
Defending champions Glenbervie held off a strong challenge from Blairgowrie to retain the Club Championship crown at Lundin, becoming the first club since Cowglen in 1988 to successfully defend the title.
They now head for Bulgarian venue Pravets (23 – 25 October) bidding to emulate the only previous Scottish winners of the event, Kilmarnock in 1994 at Vilamoura GC. The event has been played since 1975 with Portuguese club Aroeira winning on home soil 12 months ago, ending a run of three French victories. 
Scotland international Graeme Robertson, this year’s Scottish Amateur Championship silver-medallist, teamed up with Glenbervie club-mates Fraser Moore and Richard Johnston to record a two-under par winning total for victory at Lundin.
Over two rounds of stroke play, with the two lowest scores from each round counting towards each team’s aggregate score, Great Britain & Ireland team member Robertson was the hero, following up an opening round four-under par round of 67 with a level par afternoon 71. 
It was the 30th staging of TSG Scottish Club Championship, with each of Scotland’s 16 Area Associations holding a qualifying event to determine their leading club, with 48 players lining up at Fife layout Lundin to contest the title.
Due to work commitments, Robertson can’t travel to Bulgaria, with 2013 Scottish Boys semi-finalists Ben Craggs stepping in to join Moore and Johnston. Craggs was leading Glenbervie’s individual Club Handicap Order of Merit to secure his place.
