BRIDGE OF ALLAN

SATURDAY’S competition was the second round of the Strokeplay Shields and the excellent weather meant that once again there was a large number of competitors taking part.

The course was in excellent condition and this was reflected in the number of low scores posted throughout the day.

For the second week in a row players in the A Class dominated the low scores with Derek McGowan continuing his run of form with an excellent net 61. Colin McReath won the B Class.

Scores were A Class: 1 Derek McGowan 73-12-61, 2 Ewen Cameron 69-7-62, 3 Rocco Purves 73-10-63. B Class: 1 Colin McReath 74-13-61, 2 Andy McEwen 78-13-65, 3 Chris Whaley 80-15-65.
