GOLF: A BLUMEN FINE SHOW.
DUMBARTON'S James McGroarty stormed into the semi-finals of the British Mid-Amateur Champion-ship at Seaton Carew yesterday.The 35-year-old dumped former French amateur title-holder Francois Illouz by two holes in the third round before edging out American Jay Blumenfeld 3 and 2.
McGroarty, who now faces Hallamshire's Iain Mackenzie, said: "This is probably the best golf I've played in my career."
Mike Thomson saw his hopes of adding the British title to his Scottish Mid- Amateur crown dashed when he went down by one hole to home club champion Hugh Hamilton, a former professional whose father Hugh, played for Falkirk in the 1960s.
Euan Moir was beaten by American Danny Dantzler while Sandy Twynholm fell to Stephen East.
