The Ayrshire Under 18 Team bounced back from their opening defeat to Stirlingshire in the West Of Scotland Area Championship to record an excellent 5 ½ - 2 ½ victory over a strong Lanarkshire side at Drumpellier on Sunday 29th June 2008.
Fraser Kerr was always behind in the opening match and eventually lost out by 3&2, but this was followed a string of fine victories by a relatively inexperienced Ayrshire side. David Wilson set the tone by recording a comfortable 3&2 win before Mark Smith and Jack McDonald put the away side in a strong position with fine 4&3 and 2&1 victories respectively.
Colin Robinson had to battle hard to fight off a spirited comeback by Ian Anderson to record a one hole win before Michael Roos just failed to hang on to his hard earned lead to undeservedly taste defeat on the last green. Andrew Wright, fresh from his triumph in The Troon Links Championship, sealed the win for Ayrshire with an excellent 2&1 win over Ben Sloan. Boy’s Internationalist, Kyle Smith, completed a fine afternoon for the visitors with a halved match in his battle with Paul Shields.
