The annual competition for the Mackay Pairs Trophy took place to-day with an entry of 33.  The entrants started off their quest to win the trophy on the Ardross/Alness and Invergordon greens at 9 a.m. on a beautiful warm and sunny day.

At the semi-final stage the home club had two representatives, J. Clarke/W. MacLean and J.Sinclair/M. MacLeod, but unfortunately for both of them their journey ended at this point leaving the Fortrose/Rosemarkie pair of I.Whyte/D. Chalmers to do battle in the final with the Ardross/Alness pair of K.Macdonald/W. Kinghorn.  The final, surprisingly, turned into a one horse race with  the Ardross/Alness pair running out easy winners.

Thanks to the Ardross/Alness club for the use of their green for the early stages of the competition and also to the input of our own members in numerous ways to make the day a success.
