The Neilston FF "B" team won the Scottish Club Championship for the second time in three years. Their team of Brian Mackenzie (11 fish), James Litster (21 fish) and Tom Burnett (14 fish) had a total of 46 trout for 96lbs 1.2ozs. The Rothes Oak team of Gary Ormiston (17 fish), Willie Simpson (19 fish) and Paul Cushnie (6 fish) were second with 42 fish and the Alba Orvis FF "A" team of Gregor Fleming (17 fish), Calum Crosbie (12 fish) and Steven Welsh (7 fish) were third with 36 fish.
The conditions on the day were not easy and although it was overcast the competitors were faced with a flat calm for most of the session with the occasional downpour on parts of the lake. The top three teams took their fish at Lochend, The Butts, Sandy Bay, Heronry, Malling and Cages. They were using floating and midge tip lines with dries accounting for most of the fish with others going to fabs or buzzers.

Heat 13 of the Scottish Club Championship which was scheduled for 27th July 2019 has been cancelled due to the low number of teams wishing to enter that date. As there are now 12 heats instead of the normal 13 the following criteria will be used to determine qualification from the heats to the semis and from the heats to the Champion of Champions.
Selection of semi final placings when heats have been cancelled
In the event that heats are cancelled, the following procedure will be applied to determine which teams will qualify for the semi finals;
(a) The first three teams in each heat will qualify as normal(b) The remaining teams will be selected from heats that have the most teams competing as follows;
(c) The fourth placed team in the heat that has the most teams competing will qualify, and this approach will apply successively downwards to other heats until all vacant places are filled.
(d) If there are two or more heats with the same number of teams then a ballot of the fourth placed teams will be held from amongst that group to select the semi final placings
Selection of final placings when heats have been cancelled
The first five in each heat will qualify. The sixth placed angler in the heats with the most teams competing will qualify for the final. The selection process will be the same as applied to the selection of teams going forward to the SCC semi finals in similar circumstances i.e. the approach will apply successively downwards until vacant places are filled.
