SCRATCH LEAGUE FINAL

We now know who we meet on Saturday 26th September at Blairgowrie. Muckhart who were 2.5 to 0.5 down from the first leg turned things around at home and will now be our opponents. We already played them at home in the league stages and won 3 to 0 and a similar result in the final would be ideal. I have said from the start of this season we have the strongest team in the county and the team have always paid me back with their results. I can't wait for the final and for Strathmore Juniors to prove me right again !!!!!

EXCITING TIMES AHEAD

For the 4th time in 5 years Strathmore will contest the Junior Scratch League final. Tonight we only needed to half one match to make the final and boy did we do it in style ! Brad won easily 5&4. Alex came from one down with 3 to play, to win 16 with a birdie, win 17 and with a great up and down from the bunker on 18 he secured a great come back win. Tod finished his match on the 15th with a tremendous eagle, hitting his approach shot to 10ft and holing out for a 4&3 victory. Strathmore ran out    6v0 winners and I am looking forward to the final which will be held a Blairgowrie on Saturday 26th September.

Brad and Alex both played in the Paul Lawrie Jug at Moray and made the cut and finished 16th and 29th respectively.

Brad also qualified 12 in the County Gents stroke play at Crieff and will play Mark Cameron at Alyth in the match play.

Megan Ashley competed in the Scottish under 14's at Glenbervie finishing 35th.

Megan and Amy Mitchell both won their matches for the Ladies Scratch league team against Craigiehill last week and against Alyth tonight Megan won 7&6 and Amy maintained her unbeaten record with a halved match.

What terrific results and I am so proud of all our players and the continued progress they are making. 

Alex and myself have also made both the Gents four ball and foursomes finals and look forward to extending our unbeaten run.
