FOTHERINGHAM FIRST IN ALLIANCE AT NAIRN DUNBAR

 REPORT BY ALAN COWIE

Bryan Fotheringham repeated his round of 69 which scored in last season's championship  to win Saturday's North Scottish Golfers' Alliance fixture over a shorter but not easier Nairn Dunbar course. Birdies were recorded against the card at the 1st, 6th, 10th, 16th and last to counter the bogeys at the 9th, & 11th. Several players came a cropper on the much faster greens which were extremely quick for the time of year.
