                BRAEHEAD BOYS RETAIN COUNTY TITLE.

It has been difficult to get teams for the County Boys League, but for 2013, the County Golf Union was pleased to get the League decided.  Braehead played Alloa at home in a five a side match played on a handicap basis and took the title comfortably by 3.5 matches to 1.5. 

The smartly turned out Alloa Boys team gave them a good fight for the title, and at the half way point it was fairly even.  Top match between Brian McAdam and Gregor McEwan was pretty even until the last few holes when Brian snatched the lead. 

Good wins from Ryan Calder and Harris McGrath sealed the match for Braehead, but Alloa’s Ross Logan gained a half and 12 year old Tom Humphreys had a great win away from home to earn him “Man of the Match.”

NO JOY FOR ALLOA IN SCOTTISH CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP

    It was not a day to remember for the Alloa trio in the Scottish Club Championship, when they finished well down the field at Luffness.  Their team total  (best two scores from three to count) of  40 over par was 30 shots behind the winners Glenbervie, so there is no trip to Portugal  Best Alloa scores came from Ian Ross with rounds of 78 and 77 over the par 72 course--- it seemed to be tough for most…. the CSS went up by 3 shots in round 1 and two shots in round 2.
