SCOTTISH BOYS CHAMPIONSHIP - Stewart carries Ayrshire banner into final

Michael Stewart (Troon Welbeck) has secured his place in the final of the 2008 Scottish Boys Championship at Southerness on Saturday 12 April, where he will meet Paul Shields (Kirkhill) in the 36 hole final.

Stewart beat Mark Bookless (Sandyhills) by 3 & 2 in the quarter finals and edged through by 2 holes in the semi final against fellow internationalist David law (Hazelhead), courtesy of a 3 - 3 finish to his round, an eagle on the final hole closing out his opponent.

Stewart becomes the first Ayrshire player to grace the final since Alan Reid (Kilmarnock Barassie) took the title at West Kilbride in 1992, and will be hoping to win the trophy and emulate the only Troon Welbeck member to win the boys title, Andrew McQueen, who won back in 1985 beating clubmate Fraser McCulloch in the final.

The final tees of at 0830 on saturday morning and the best wishes of all members of The Ayrshire Golf Association go to Michael in his bid for the Scottish Boys title.
