ASHER FAMILY - NAIRN 2 TEAM - BEAT ELGIN


SMOOTH START BY NORTHERN 


COUNTIES CUP HOLDERS AT TAIN

Newmachar, holders of the Northern Counties Cup, made a smooth start to their title defence in the annual foursomes match-play tournament with a second-round victory over the Tain 2 team at the latter's course today.

It was a family affair when Nairn 2  beat Elgin - all their players are members of the Asher family. George the father and his three sons, James, Rory and Finlay make up this team, which is probably a first for this tournament. They now  play Fortrose 1.
 Another surprise was last year's finalists Inverness 2 beating Cruden Bay 1 who were the strong looking line-up -on paper.
The scoreline in the Moray 1 v Royal Dornoch 1 tie had a bizarre look after 18 holes. Dornoch's first pair where seven up and their second pair seven down. Dornoch managed to win at the 19th.
