STRATHMORE 3.5 BLAIRGOWRIE 1.5

I must tonight be the proudest Junior Converor in the Country. I have just watched our team of Ross Dallas , Emily Aird , Hannah Robb , Michael Brodie and Brad Bannerman pull off one of the best wins imaginable . Ross making his debut against Connor Neil found himself 3 down and was still 2 down with 3 to play, digging in he won 16 and 17 (with a 4 with his second ball) and secured a great half on the last. Hannah had already closed off her match against Stewart Lindsay 4&3 and Michael Brodie lost out to an in form Mark McLeod 5/4. Emily Aird who kept her form from yesterday secured her point against Robert Willamars 2&1 and Brad Bannerman (under no pressure whatsoever) sealed the deal with a tremendous 2nd shot to 8ft on the 16th to win 3&2 against Adam Hood.

To think it was only 2008 when we first entered P&K Junior Scratch League and tonight we sit Top of our Section with 2 victories under our belts against 2010 Holders Blairgowrie and Runner ups Milnathort.

I cannot get this smile off my face and the am so pleased how far Strathmore Juniors have progressed. To become great winners you have to first become good losers , we have done that and today provided me with all proof I will ever need that we have the ability , talent and team spirit to go on and progress even further.

Thank you team , you were brilliant !!!!!
