Cults Academy, represented by Adam Fisher, Ryan McKinnon
and Ben Henderson, became only the second school to record back-to-back
victories in the Paul Lawrie Foundation Schools’ Team Challenge Scratch Trophy
at a sun-drenched Peterculter Golf Club on Monday.
Only Ellon Academy (in 2005 and 2006) could boast that
achievement previously.
Team captain Adam Fisher led the way with a three-under-par
68. Fisher, celebrating his inclusion in
the Scottish schoolboys team to face England next month, had four birdies – at the
first, third, fourteenth and seventeenth – and a solitary bogey at the 9th. Team-mates Ben Henderson and Ryan McKinnon
weighed in with 75 and 79 respectively for a team total of 222 and a winning
margin of five strokes.
Runners-up for a
second successive year were Alford Academy’s Ray Gordon (72), Kiran Nolan (75)
and Gavin Elrick (80).
Robert Gordon’s College, winners in 2011 and represented this year by Michael
Lawrie (77), Findlay McPherson (79) and Dylan Smith (80),finished third on
236.
Hazlehead Academy claimed the Handicap Trophy with a net
score of 214. Their team players and individual scores were: Craig Leith (9) 68, Connor Brown (14)
68 and Jasmine Mackintosh (9) 78. Speyside High School made their long
journey worthwhile when they claimed the runners-up place on a card countback
from Westhill Academy, after both teams had tied on 216.
