After the final Super Seniors event at Ladybank, George Rodaks (Dunfermline Pitreavie) holds onto top slot in the 2019 Order of Merit. George had to call off playing at Ladybank, but his opponents couldn’t take advantage to overhaul his lead. George won on 1070 points, with Jalil Aman in second place on 1003, with Neish Chisholm in 3rd place only 1 point back on 1002. Congratulations George on a consistent season.

Jalil Aman (Grangemouth) emerged as winner of the Super Seniors Gross Order of Merit for 2019. A strong finish ay Ladybank where he topped both the scratch and handicap competitions, gave him enough points to edge out Keith Bruce (Edzell). Jalil's winning points total was 1470, with Keith 2nd on 1380. In 3rd place was Lindsay Gordon (Turnhouse) on 1305. These 3 were well clear of 4th place which was 867 points.
