SCOTTISH BOYS CHAMPIONSHIP - Ayrshire hopes end at quarter final stage

Hopes of and Ayrshire win in the 2006 Scottish Boys Championship, played at West Kilbride this week, were ended when the two remaining Ayrshire players bowed out at the quarter final stage on Friday morning.

Cameron Gray (West Kilbride) had a very close match with James Byrne (Banchory) with the lead changing throughout the match. A run of three succesive birdies late in the match gave Byrne a one hole advantage, but Gray again squared the match before losing out on the final green when Byrne birdied the last for a one hole victory.

John Shanks (Ardeer) faced Jamie Neilson (Dunbar) in the quarter final, and found his opponent a tough prospect. Shanks was never ahead in the match, winning his first and only hole at the 10th, before eventually losing out by 4 & 3.
