ALVA MISS OUT AT GLENBERVIE
Alva Golf Club, the 2011 Alexander Trophy winners, just missed retaining their title this year when they finished four shots behind the winners Falkirk Tryst Golf Club.
Alloa finished fifth with Dollar, Tillicoultry and Braehead further back. Dollar player Darren Hulston had the best scratch score of the day - a four under par 67 containing six birdies. He was out in one under, back in three under, mastering the heavy conditions of the day.

TOP TEN FINISH FOR SCOTT.
Dollar’s Scott Borrowman continues his good form in the Scottish Order of merit events. In the Cameron Corbett Vase at Haggs Castle, Scott finished in a tie for 8th position on 140 ( 71,69) and seven shots behind the winner.
Play on Saturday was cancelled due to the wet weather and the result decided over 36 holes on the Sunday. The next 72 hole event is the Sutherland Chalice at Dumfries and Galloway , and then it’s the Scottish amateur, so Scott will be hoping for more good golf
Bob Stewart (Tulliallan) made a great effort in the foggy Scottish Seniors at Luffness New last week. With rounds of 73 and 76, Bob was in touch with the leaders, but fell back in the final round with 80 to leave him in 16th position, ten shots behind the winner.
Bob plays in the Seniors Match Play Championship at West Kilbride this week
