Ronald Mackay's farming interests kept him from playing the final round of the EGGS Summer Stableford on Tuesday but he was able to rest on his laurels and was a comfortable winner of the Wallace Trophy with a best six round total of 221 points.

On a day of relatively poor scoring Ian Fraser won Tuesday's final round with 39 points, three clear of Dave Thom and Joe Duffy.

Jim Buchan improved his total by a couple of points to share second place overall with Sandy Wright.

George Mitchell(208) and Donald Jack(206) filled the next couple of places.

The EGGS begin their Summer Eclectic on Tuesday and hope to be joined by other seniors for the Thor Fishing Senior Open on Wednesday. The intrepid trio of seniors from Durness have already indicated their intention to play.
