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.
