Rennie pips Oldcorn at Edinburgh/East Alliance

Despite the winter weather yet again attempting to restrain play,  59 stalwarts of the Edinburgh and East Alliance were determined to do their best to get their name on The Pitreavie Trophy at The Glen fixture, North Berwick, writes Alan Greenshields.
The name on the trophy contest went down to the best last six holes on the par 70 course to decide whethere a scratch 73 or a net 73 would capture the silverware.
Martin Rennie (Uphall) gets his name on the trophy with a net 73 (77 less 4), just edging ahead of the best scratch score of 73 from Andrew Oldcorn (Kings Acre). 
The inward nine could not split them but on the inward six holes Andrew's 26 was pipped by Martin's 24 and 2/3.
On the Scratch front Andrew took the top prize with his 73 and second place was shared on 75 by Ryan Buckley (Royal Musselburgh) and Andrew Erskine (Ratho Park).
Martin took the top handicap prize and trophy with his net 73  with second place going to Danny Airens (Falkirk Tryst) on net 75 (85 less 10).
Third place on net 76 was shared by Robin Cockburn (Harburn) (81 less 5) and David Nicolson (Craigielaw) (80 less 4).
Top Trainee prize went to Louis Gaughan (Bathgate) on 78 and Top Senior prize went to John Denham (Torwoodlee) on net 80 (86 less 6).
The top of the Handicap Order of Merit sees Walter Forsyth still on top but his lead has shrunk to one point from three players

Top five are now -

1 Walter Forsyth (Peebles) - 111.5
T2 Daniel Airens (Falkirk Tryst) - 110.5
T2 Stuart Brown (Dunbar) - 110.5
T2 David Nicolson (Craigielaw) - 110.5
5. Martin Rennie (Uphall) - 109.5

The Scratch Order of Merit sees Chris Morris enhance his lead but Neil Henderson drops out of top three, missing the event due to spending time in a warmer climate. So the top three now are -

1 Chris Morris (Kingsknowe) - 471.5
2. Craig Gordon (Edinburgh Golf Centre) - 412.5
3. Ross Munro (Duddingston) - 408.0
