Ian Souza won the Secretary’s Prize at Dalmeny Estate Golf Club, but he was pushed hard, the 15-handicap golfer carding an 82 scratch, but sneaked home thanks to a better inward half.

Andy Allan, handicap seven, went round in 74 scratch but lost out on countback and club secretary, Willie Ruffle, was third. He shot a 77 scratch and, with his handicap of ten, also carded a 67.

Seven-handicap Colin Campbell won the Paul Tennant Trophy with a round of 74 scratch for a nett 67 with Ewan Campbell one shot behind after shooting a 92 minus his 24 handicap. Willie Ruffle was third having scored 84, nett 74.

Finally, Dalmeny Estate beat Musselburgh Old Course Golf Club by three points in the home leg of their annual challenge. The return is later this year.
