Kilmarnock
Barassie won the 2015 Ayrshire Boys Team Championship at Ayr Seafield on Sunday
19th April, edging out the local team from Ayr Belleisle by a single
shot.
 |
Robbie Muir, Lewis Cadell & Ewan Milligan of the winning Kilmarnock (Barassie) team
with Ayrshire Golf Association President James McMurdo |
11 Ayrshire
clubs were represented in the championship which started in sunny conditions
though a blustery breeze blew up during the day, making playing conditions
testing.
With three
scores from four counting towards the team total, the early pace setters were
the quartet from Ayr Belleisle with Charlie Cameron (73), Andrew Gordon (74),
Jordan Sweeney (74) and Jack Broun (77) combining for a team score of 221,
which left them one ahead of former winners Troon Welbeck by a single shot in
the early stages.

who won the Andrew D Nimmo Trophy |
Despite a 72
from Ross McDonald and a 74 from Jack Thomas, defending champions Irvine GC
could only get within five shots of the belleisel total, though their combined
team nett score of 200 was good enough to win the Andrew D Nimmo Trophy for the
best nett team total in the competition.
As play
progressed it appeared that Belleisle’s main challengers would be the team from
Kilmarnock (Barassie).
First player
in for Kilmarnock (Barassie) was Lewis Cadell, whose 74 combined with 73’s from
both Sean Cook and Robbie Muir and a 79 from Ewan Milligan gave the Barassie
team a total of 220,
which secured them the Matt Lygate Trophy and Ayrshire
Boys Team Champions title for 2015.
