AYRSHIRE CLUB TEAM KNOCKOUT COMPETITIONS - Two new trophies to be played for on Sunday

The new Ayrshire Club Team Knockout competitions have reached the final stage, with both the scratch and handicap finals taking place this Sunday, 11th September, at Ballochmyle.

The finals tee off at 1.00 p.m., and the finalists in both competitions will be playing for new trophies, introduced this year following the positive feedback from competing clubs, which has ensured that the events will be continued next season.

In the scratch competition, Loudoun will play Prestwick St Cuthbert in the final, with the winners taking custody of the Gary Bryden Memorial salver for the year. 



The trophy was introduced, at the suggestion of some county players, in memory of former Champion Of Champions Trophy winner and county team stalwart Gary Bryden, who passed away suddenly at the age of 44 in 2015, and is a fitting award for what is likely to prove to be one of the highlights of the Ayrshire season for the scratch teams of member clubs.

The finalists in the handicap event are Brunston Castle and Moorpark, who will contest another new trophy, The Presidents Putter. 

An unusual annual award, the trophy takes the form of a replica long nose hickory shafted putter, which will remain in the custody of the winning club for the year.
