• Lothians star Grant Forrest has struck up a new partnership with Pentland Jaguar.

As part of the deal, the North Berwick-based player will be driving a new Jaguar E-pace, which he picked up at the firm’s showroom at Fort Kinnaird.

“I am delighted to be representing them as I drive around when I’m at home,” said the Challenge Tour player.

Grant Elliott, Sales Manager at Pentland Jaguar Edinburgh, added: “We are sure this is the start of a great partnership.”

• Captain Keith Reilly reckons Lothians gave a better account of themselves than the scoreline suggests in an annual friendly against Northumberland.

On his debut, Aaron Hall holing his second shot at the first for an eagle in the foursomes.
