AYRSHIRE JUNIOR GOLF LEAGUE Draws made for the semi finals

The draws have been made for the semi finals of three Ayrshire Junior Golf League competitions, at the League Execuitve meeting on Monday 8th August.

The LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP prompted much discussion, after the failure of Largs Routenburn to honour their commitment, the 4 matches in the qualifying sections having a significant bearing on the result.

Ballochmyle topped section A having been awarded two matches by Routenburn, whilst Prestwick St. Cuthbert matched Ballochmyle's points total, having completed all their matches, which included a defeat at Routenburn.

In an outstandingly sporting gesture, in the best traditions of the Ayrshire Junior Golf League, Ballochmyle were in full agreement with the proposal from some member clubs that Ballochmyle and St. Cuthbert play off in Section A to decide who proceeds to the semi finals.

The semi final draw was subsequently made by League Chairman, Ricky magee (Caprington)

In the first semi final, AYR BELLEISLE will meet the winners of the section D play off between ARDEER and IRVINE RAVENSPARK.

The second semi final pairs the winners of the BALLOCHMYLE versus PRESTWICK ST. CUTHBERT tie with WEST KILBRIDE.
