Observers win Sivewright Quaich
The Sivewright Quaich final was played between Observers and SMARTS, the holders, on a lovely day although breezy at times.
The first game ended with the SMARTS first couple of Alan Dickson and Craig Clarke finishing 1 up after 18 holes. Although the Prestonfield affiliated club pairing were down early in their match they turned it around at the turn and were ahead by 2 playing 18 but a pitch to a foot at the last by Bob King for a winning birdie reduced the deficit to 1.
In the second game the Observers second couple of Rab Jackson and Stewart Leslie were always in control turning 4 up and although the SMARTS couple pulled 2 holes back by the 16th they lost the 17th to a par 4 and the overall match finished with a victory to Observers by 2/1.
Observers last won the trophy in 2006 and were previously in the final in 1986, finishing runners up, when one of their team was Stewart Leslie.

From R to L: Keith Peacock, Bob King, Rab Jackson, Prestonfield Captain, Ian Cowan, and Stewart Leslie.
