THE EAST LOTHIAN JUNIOR GOLF LEAGUE LEAGUE RACE TAKES FINAL TWIST!

Written by League Secretary 

Update 14th September - In the tightest finish for many years, Gullane GC Juniors have emerged as victors in the 2009 League! As Musselburgh Old's matches with Dunbar and Royal Musselburgh were both drawn, they missed winning the League for the very first time by the narrowest of margins! Many of their matches were decided on the last green, so it was a very close run finale for them, watched by their coach Jane Connachan and other supporters . Commiserations therefore, are due to the Musselburgh Old Team and to their Convenor Ruth Carroll who steered her Team to their highest ever finish. Ruth now steps down as Convenor and she leaves with the thanks of the League and other Convenors for her commitment over the last few years. There is a dead heat tie between Craigielaw and Tantallon for second place and as their goal difference is exactly the same, then second place was decided by the result of the actual League match between those 2 Teams. The previous result which now applies was a win for Craigielaw. So Gullane and Craigielaw now qualify for the Scottish National Regional Final in the Home Nations Junior Team Golf Championship at Westerwood GC on Sunday 27th September. A practice day is available on Saturday the 26th September with discounted accommodation for Teams who wish to stay overnight in the Hotel. Junior Convenors have details of this.
