SCRATCH LEAGUE FINAL

Strathmore juniors Scratch League team become P&K Champions for the 2nd time. Having reached the final for the 4th time in 5 years yesterday's team of Brad Bannerman, Alex Simpson and Kirsty Brodie pulled off a remarkable win. The matches got off to a mixed start with only Brad winning the 1st. Kirsty lost and Alex found himself 2 down after 2. I was thinking this isn't going to plan!!! But my faith was restored when Alex went on a 4 hole winning run and Kirsty after squaring her match produced a great birdie on the 4th to go 1 up. The further the final went the bigger the leads were stretched. Alex was 1st to get a point on the board in style by eagleing the 14th. A tremendous 4 iron was through the back of the green on the long par 5 but when he chipped in for a 3 he closed it out 5&4. Kirsty was next with an even more impressive 6&5 win and it was left to Brad to close it out on 16 being dormie which he duly did winning 3&2. I am so proud of what these youngsters have achieved over the years and they confirmed what I having been telling anyone who was willing to listen that they are the best Team in P&K and now we have the Trophy to prove it.
