On Sunday 17th July Gullane hosted Tantallon in a table topping match in the highly competitive East Lothian Junior League. Tantallon won 4-2 in a good match in excellent conditions on Gullane No1. On paper the teams were evenly matched in both the top three scratch games and the other three handicap matches, with each side fielding two junior internationalists.
Half way round it looked pretty even with each side ahead in three but Tantallon came through the stronger to take 4 of the games and convincingly secure the vital points.
There were fine individual performance from various players - Callum Hill putted like a dream on the fantastic greens going round in sub par figures and Euan Bowden was also under par trading 11 birdies with Lesley Atkins who held her nerve chipping and putting to win on the last despite a lost ball on 17. Excellent sub par scoring from Lesley ( an approximate 3 under the ladies card with 7 birdies ) and a good win against a fine player. Great prep for Mackie Bowl, Girls Home Internationals and British Girls all taking place at Gullane in coming weeks
Solid performances also from Ross Wilson, Murray Naismith ( excellent 2 on 16 to thwart Williams fightback ) and Lewis Govenlock for Tantallon and Thomas Simmonds from Gullane
1 Callum Hill (2) beat Alexander Wilson (2) 3&2
