JOHN KERNAGHAN ended the old year the way he began ... in winning form when he added a Boxing Day Stableford success to his list of victories at Kingarth for 2007. The 12-handicapper weathered the windy conditions better than his fellow competitiors as he scored the creditable total of 40 points to take first prize. A youthful 81-year-old Bobby Gordon had to settle for runner-up spot with 38 playing off 22 while third prize went to Bobby Speirs (12) thanks to a better inward half against Gordon Little (16) and Ian McDougall (17) who all scored 36 points.
