Rory knocked out of Scottish

Rory Tinker was beaten 5&3 today by Craig Lawrie (Deeside) in the second round of the Scottish Boys Championships at Dunbar. By the sounds of it today was not Rory's best form.

Rory Through, Allan Out.

Rory Tinker is through to the second round of the Scottish Boys after a 5&3 victory this afternoon over Stuart Cameron (Renfrew) where he shall play Craig Lawrie son of Open champion Paul Lawrie tomorrow our best wishes go to him.
In yesterdays play Allan Easton was not so fortunate as he watched Andrew Cunnigham (Ranfurly Castle) birdie the first four holes that gained him a lead that Allan could not pull back. Allan was happy with his ball striking put could not find the putts he needed.
Good to see both boys competing at this level and we will see how Rory goes tomorrow.

Allan Easton is the new Perth and Kinross Under 18 Strokeplay Champion

Fabulous news from Crieff this afternoon as Allan Easton carded a gross 71 to become Perth and Kinross Under 18 Strokeplay Champion 2011. This is an outstanding achievement for Allan and reward for the relentless practice he has put in over the winter, the support he receives from the Centre, from the Junior Section over the years and from everybody at the club but first and foremost his single minded determination and talent.

He now heads off to Dunbar for the Scottish Boys Championship which starts on Monday, hopefully joined by Rory Tinker who had to withdraw from todays event with a back injury. Good luck to both of you!

Michael Brodie also played at Crieff this afternoon but could not follow his excellent round at Strathmore this morning with the same at Crieff but he has time on his side to make his mark.

Once again well done Allan brilliant stuff.

Scottish Boys Championship 2011

The Scottish Boys Championship 2011 kicks off on Monday the 11th of April at Dunbar with a field of 254 players including two of our own.

Allan Easton and Rory Tinker both play at the Scottish this year, we will watch their progress with interest and wish them all the best.

Allan tees off in the first round early on Monday and Rory late on Tuesday, their progress can be followed on the SGU site or in the national press.

They both also take part on Saturday in the Perth and Kinross strokeplay championship at Crieff along with Michael Brodie.
Good luck!
