Belhelvie were drawn away at Bervie in the A&K Top Ten competition last night. Having benefited from a bye in the first round, this quarter final tie was Belhelvie’s first in the competition. Bervie had previously knocked out the 2015 champions Inverurie 8-0.

Bervie got off to a strong start, taking an early lead in both the pairs and triples matches. Belhelvie meanwhile opened up a gap of a few shots in the fours. Phil Lawson couldn’t quite keep David Keith in check in the singles and they were first to finish with the score 21-9 to Bervie.

With the fours maintaining their lead and the pairs battling to close the gap, the tie remained in the balance for a while. However, despite a 14-10 victory for Alan and a 11-11 draw for Derek and Ian, defeat for our triples meant Bervie came out victorious by 5 points to 3.
