By COLIN FARQUHARSON

Cruden Bay tour professional Kevin Duncan, pictured, is setting the pace in the North-east Alliance Scratch Order of Merit, sponsored by the "Brimond Bistro," the clubhouse restaurant at Craibstone Golf Club.
Points are awarded every week and Kevin has amassed close on 3,000pt from the first eight meetings of the Alliance season.
Newmachar tour pro John Duff is in second place.
The only amateur in the current top 15 is Newmachar's Christopher Lamb in fifth place. 
 The "Brimmond Bistro" is putting up the same prize money/amateur vouchers for each of the three Order of Merit categories - Scratch and Handicap Class 1 and Class 2.
The winner of each category will receive £75, the runner-up £50 and the third place finisher £40, either in cash or amateur prize vouchers.
The Merit competitions will end with the second round of the NE Alliance championship at Craibstone GC on Wednesday, March 16.
+The current Class 1 and 2 Handicap Order of Merit points leaders will be displayed on this website on Friday evening.
