Loretto Golf Academy's narrow win over East Lothian boys
REPORT OF EAST LOTHIAN v LORETTO GOLF ACADEMY
A very enjoyable and competitive match was played at Dunbar on Tuesday evening between a select team from East Lothian and the high profile Loretto Golf Academy. The course was in good condition despite the obvious effects of the recent storms and some good golf was on display at the different age groups.
Both sides were missing a few of their top players (eg Julie Yang warming up for the Ladies European Tour German Open and Grant Forrest studying for exams ) but both teams proved their strength in depth with Loretto's international squad coming out on top, albeit only on the last green of the last match for a 3 1/2-2 1/2 victory.
Anthony Blaney put in a solid performance alongside debutant Peter Legget, sneaking a win for East Lothian in the top match with a sterling 25ft putt on the testing final hole, with the Gullane pairing having been behind all the way.
Sami Bouzabia and Alexander Wilson were also pleased to take the scalp of Scottish Academy players Callum Hill and Euan Bowden.
Results:
East Lothians names first
Under 18
Anthony Blaney (Gullane ) & Peter Legget (Gullane) bt George Munsey & Timon Sitte 1 hole.
Ewen Donaldson (Craigielaw ) & Blair Shearer (Dunbar ) lost to Peter Templeton & James Sharp 2 and 1.
Under 16
Calum Hill (Tantallon ) & Euan Bowden (Tantallon ) lost to Sami Bouzabia & Alexander Wilson 2 holes.
Calum Satterley (Longniddry ) & Oli Duffy (Craigielaw) lost to Ian Mcdowall & Tim Huebner 1 hole.
Under 14
Neil Bowden (Glen) & Chris Algeo (Longniddry) bt John Dunn Butler & George Sutherland 6 and 5.
Finn Donaldson (North Berwick) & Gary Brownlee (Tantallon ) halved with Laura Alexander & Migle Rusteikaite
Result East Lothian 2 1/2 Loretto 3 1/2
From a Gullane perspective it was great to have six members spread between the two sides. Peter Legget got his first taste of representative action, playing his part in the top game. Alexander Wilson makes his debut for Lothian Boys on Sunday v Perth & Kinross.
Thanks to Dunbar for the use of their fine course - the venue of next year's Scottish boys' championship where Craigielaw player Grant Forrest will be looking to defend his crown.
