Crieff G.C. 3-2 Strathmore G.C.

In the penultimate Scratch League week of the season our team of five travelled across Perthshire to meet league leaders Crieff in a crucial match as far as progressing into the latter stages of the competition. Once again the team showed signs of the progress they are making this season however came up short on this occassion.
Reverses for Norman Dyce and Iain Butchart were followed by a sizeable win for Rory Tinker, a win at 18th for the so far undefeated Allan Easton. Unfortunately Scott Thomson missed out narrowly as his opponent squeezed out the match at the last hole.
So frustration for the team but clear again that we now have a scratch league team who are effective at this level and with a bright future.
Next week the team travel to Milnathort for the last group stage match.
