CRAIGIELAW'S rising golf stars have won a top Scottish junior event for the third time in four years, earning themselves a trip to Spain early in the New Year, writes MARTIN DEMPSTER.
The East Lothian club triumphed once again in the Scottish final of the Home Nations Junior Team Championship, this latest success in the event coming at Westerwood.
The Home Nations tournament involves in excess of 1,500 golf clubs throughout Sco
tland, England, Wales and Ireland and the competitors at Westerwood were all either winners or runners up of junior leagues throughout Scotland.
The Scotland final was televised for the first time and will be broadcast as part of a programme to be shown on Sky Sports next February.
Cardross set the clubhouse target with a team total of 372 and that looked a tough score to beat until Craigielaw, who qualified as runners up in this year's East Lothian Junior League, came in with a winning aggregate of 366.
Gabrielle MacDonald led the way with the best net score of the day, a 69 playing off six, while two-handicapper Douglas Maxwell had the best gross score of the day with 72. They were ably supported by Ewen Donaldson (73), Grant Forrest (74) and Greg Smail (80) with Jack Dow's 82 being the discounted score.
This year's Junior Team Golf Home Nations Championships will be staged over five days at La Torre Club in Spain.
Gullane, the East Lothian Junior League winners this year, finished fourth on 282 at Westerwood, where Edinburgh Junior League representatives Liberton and Prestonfield posted scores of 399 and 413 respectively.
