BELL SALVER

Today we hosted Blairgowrie and Dunning and what a way to start the 2 Leagues.

Our young team took on the Blairgowrie team and Tom led them out and got ahead early and never relinquished his lead. Keir was similar and at his young age used his experience of playing at this level and held on for a great win. Olly was on fire and holing from 25 feet for a par on the 3rd and a tremendous birdie on the long 5th helped him take a big lead he held until finishing his game on the 14th. Saoirse found herself 4 down after 7 and fought back to take the lead and was dormie on 17, unfortunately she lost the last 2 holes. The Blairgowrie team played very well but our team secured a fantastic win in the “local derby” and all 4 of them should be very proud tonight. 

Strathmore (1) v Blairgowrie

Tom Stevenson won 3&2 v Charlie Burke 
Keir Reid won 2&1 v Zack Barrell 
Olly Stevenson won 5&4 v Alasdair Brass
Saoirse Sangerman halved v Murray Donaldson 

Final result - Strathmore 3.5 - Blairgowrie 0.5

Stuart led out our older team and all of them were giving shots. He was up in the early stages but his opponent got into a 4 up lead and Stuart fought back to 1 down after 16 but lost out on the 17th. Archie played well and was 4 up but lost 3 on the bounce but kept his cool and won 4&2. Louis who’s match play record is superb, did his usual, his consistency 
put him ahead and he ran out a convincing 5&3 winner. Cammy was 4 down but never gives in. He fought back, got ahead and finished his match 2&1. Overall a great team result and again all 4 players should be very proud tonight. I know Dawn and I definitely are.

Stuart Duncan lost 2&1 v Joe Ross
Archie Pattullo won 4&2 v Lachlan Dodd
Louis Purdie won 5&3 v Sam Dodd
Cameron Galloway won 2&1 v Oli Kimber

Apologies to Cameron, for some reason the photograph we took never came out. The wind must have blown the cover over the lens !
