Reay Junior Open - 14 August 05
Youngsters play their best

A large entry of 52 juniors from the local golf clubs and as far afield as Brora and Milnathort, Perthshire turned out to contest this years Reay Junior Open.

Ronan Kennedy (Reay) was the winner from Lauren Ross (Reay), with Lindsay Parsonage, Sarah Meiklejohn (both Thurso) and Eion Gallagher (Reay) making the top five. Ronan received the Dunnett Shield and Lauren won the girls' section.

Again this was closely contested with Paul-Rory Colebourn (Milnathort) pipping Anna Loughborough (Reay) for top spot. Reay duo Stuart Adamson and Jamie Henderson and Thurso's Ranald Stewart completed the top five places. Paul-Rory won the Alec & Don Mackay Shield and Anna received the Ronnie Wallace Trophy.

In the girls' section Rebecca Meiklejohn (Thurso) won the gross trophy with a steady performance and a very creditable 84.

There was a healthy entry of 13 in the competition for the boys playing off the junior tees, resulting in some close scoring. Struan Gunn (Brora) won with the very last puttfrom defending champion James Reid (Thurso), with Cameron MacHardie (Reay), Adam Sutherland (Brora) and Hugh Tunn (Reay) making the top five.

Thurso Junior Open - 07 August 05
Brent knows the course better to win

Brent Munro managed to win the Thurso Junior Open with an excellent round of one over par in tricky conditions. His nearest rival Gavin Sutherland won the handicap trophy by a couple of shots from Stephen Munro (Pitfirrane GC, Dunfermline) and Steven Lowe completed the prize list for players using the medal tees.

Brent's brother Liam was looking good for a double on the day, from the Junior tees, with a 66 for 18 holes but Iain Dunnett matched his score and had a better inward half. Eric Campbell came third one shot infront of Jamie Finlayson (Royal Aberdeen).

Lindsay Parsonage won the girls' six hole event, in a small field but Peter Sangster had some good scoring to win the boys trophy over James Henderson and Shane Kennedy.

The three hole events needed countback decisions and it was Nicole Cowie who just nipped it infront of Eilidh Gallagher for the girls' competition and Ronan Kennedy beat Richard Finlayson in the boys' section.
