Our teams great run in the Perth and Kinross Bell Trophy came to an end as tonight's semi-final ended in defeat. Blairgowrie performed well and move into the final versus Dunkeld and Birnam next weekend over the Kings Course at Gleneagles.
Three defeats for Donald, Mark and Scott coupled with two halved matches from Norman and Jerry(who came back from being 5 down) put paid to our chances.
The team have however performed so well during their run and along with Iain Butchart and Phil Johnstone have done us all proud.
Always next year.
