Craigielaw wins Scottish Junior Team Final
For the third time in four years, Craigielaw Golf Club's junior team has won the Scottish final of the Junior Team Golf Home Nations Inter-club Championship.
This year's event took place at Westerwood Golf Resort. Twelve teams representing junior leagues throughout Scotland took part and the East Lothian League team pipped Cardross for the title and will represent Scotland in the Home Nations Final in Spain in early January.
Team captain Greg Smail, in accepting the trophy from well-known golf commentator Alex Hay, paid tribute to team manager Gordon Smith who has guided Craigielaw to three British finals; his team just coming up short of winning the overall title on the previous two occasions.
"This is a great competition for our junior team members" said Smail in accepting the trophy. "It really develops our junior members, some of whom are already in area and national squads, and gives our younger members something to aim for."
Alex Hay who, along with Sir Steve Redgrave, are patrons of the annual competition, praised the competitors for the high standard of competition and sportsmanship shown and thanked Brian Whittle of TalentNation who are the event's new sponsors.
Craigielaw's winning team were Greg Smail (capt), Douglas Maxwell, Grant Forrest, Ewan Donaldson, Jack Dow, Gabrielle McDonald and Ewan Mackay.
