Murcar Links v Portlethen in 100th Maitland 

Shield Final at Kings Links 

By COLIN FARQUHARSON
It will be a Murcar Links v Portlethen final on Friday evening (4.47pm tee off) in the 100th City of Aberdeen men's double foursomes match-play.
Murcar Links beat Northern by eight holes and Portlethen KOd Hazlehead by the same margin in the other semi-final in miserable wet and cold conditions at the Kings Links.
Murcar's Adrian Styles and Bryan Innes produced the best golf of the night in finishing eight up on Northern's Stuart Slessor and George Paterson.
Styles and Innes were four under par at the finish. They have finished ahead in all three ties they have played this week.
Murcar Links' second string of Anthony Bews and Ronnie Brechin had a halved match with Neil Walker and Cameron Johnstone.
Running Styles and Innes close in the sub-par scoring stakes were Portlethen's Kevin Daglish and Clark Brechin. They were five up at the turn against Hazlehead's Greig Kennedy and Adam Strachan, thanks to three-under par figures.
Kennedy and Strachan threatened a revival by winning the 11th and 12th but their Portlethen opponents pulled away again to finish six up.
The Portlethen second string of Keith Horne and Gary Esson scored their third win of the week, this one by three holes over Hazlehead's Phil Lawrence and Brian Nicholson who had won their two previous ties.
