	Dick wins Stuart Cup for second time
Kingsfield's Allyn Dick won the Stuart Cup for the second time in four years after leading the qualifiers for the Lothians Championship. The former Scottish international followed a morning 70 at Broomieknowe with a 68 at Glencorse to finish two shots clear of the field. n) v Jamie McIntosh (Broomieknowe) Dick will now try to regain the title he won in 2010 when the match-play takes place at Musselburgh. Both a shot back after 36 holes, West Linton's Sean Walter and West Lothian's Barry Lewis were his closest challengers, with Jamie McIntosh from Broomieknowe and Musselburgh's Lewis Bain, who had a best-of-the-day 64 at Glencorse, a stroke further adrift. The last of the three 32 spots in the knock-out phase were decided on a countback among those on 147. The CSS for both courses was +3.
