Good afternoon all. Hope 2013 is treating you well.

I'm afraid the virus going around has floored me at the moment hence the delay in getting results to you but here they are now:

 

A healthy field of 98 challenged for The Berwickshire Trophy and up until late in the day it looked like it would be decided on better inward half until Neil Fenwick (pictured above) of Dunbar in Game 28 forged ahead with a fantastic 5 under par 63. 

His birdie-par-eagle-birdie start built the base of an outward nine of 30. Neil also wins the special prize that was up for grabs to a professional -   a free trip to the Tunisia Golf Festival in Hammamet next month. 

This prize is thanks to work done by Colin Farquharson of Scottish Golfview in negotiating with the trip organisers, Menara Travel of London. 

Well done, Neil - enjoy your week in the sun!

Second place scratch prize was split three ways also to the pro ranks via Jamie McLeary (Dalmahoy), local Keir McNicoll (Gullane) and Chris Russell (Archerfield), all on 66.

Top Handicap prize was also a three-way split with net 64s earned by Danny Airens (Falkirk Tryst) 73 less 9, Donny Munro (Kingsknowe) 67 less 3 and Peter Ritchie (Bathgate) 73 less 9.

Top Senior Prize went to Stuart Wardlaw (Harburn) on net 66 (78 less 12).
