Dalhousie v. Scotscraig Thursday 19th may
In a very tightly contested and even match Dalhousie went down by 31/2 to 21/2 to Scotscraig in the home leg of the Tanner Trophy. The match was perfectly level until the 18th hole of the last match, with Steve Grant and Stuart Gearty losing out unluckily as their opponents holed yet another long putt to edge past them, one up. With a little luck we can hopefully make up the deficit in the return fixture on Sunday 3rd of July (1 pm)– the sheet for this match is now on the notice board.
Dalhousie v. Edzell Thursday 9th June
In another close match Dalhousie lost out narrowly by 4 points to 2. Despite the first 4 matches being in the balance throughout, Edzell edged each of them, before the Dalhousie tail ‘wagged’ strongly to keep the club in the hunt for the Willock Bowl (well played Mike Sinclair, Jim Morrison, Mike Hamilton and David Forman!). The match will be decided at Edzell on the revised date of Tuesday 26th July at 5 pm – again there are still places available in the team and the sheet is on the noticeboard.
