AYRSHIRE JUNIOR GOLF LEAGUE - Largs GC drop out of 2017 competitions

Largs Golf Club have intimated that they will not now be entering the Ayrshire Junior Golf League competitions in 2017.

Although the Junior Academy at the club last year was a great success, with 40 youngsters getting tuition on a weekly basis, the players are considered too young at the moment to play in the AJGL competitions and there are not sufficient experienced juniors at present to participate in the AJGL competitions.

Because of the Largs withdrawal, eleven clubs will now contest the AYRSHIRE JUNIOR GOLF LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP this year, with Section A now featuring Troon Welbeck, Ballochmyle, Ardeer, Irvine, and Ayr Belleisle.

Section B still has six teams -  Turnberry, Kilmarnock (Barassie), Prestwick St Cuthbert, West Kilbride, Caprington and Loudoun.

Irvine now received a bye into round two of the UNDER 16 KNOCKOUT TROPHY competition as a result of the Largs withdrawal.

The revised list of first round ties is :-

West Kilbride Vs. Ballochmyle

Prestwick St Cuthbert Vs. Loudoun

Ayr Belleisle Vs Kilmarnock (Barassie)

In the CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS TROPHY competition, Blair Fleming (Troon Welbeck) will receive a bye into round two as a result of the Largs withdrawal.

The revised list of first round ties is :-

West Kilbride (Fraser Murray) Vs. Caprington (Jamie McKinnon)

Turnberry Vs. Prestwick St Cuthbert (Shawn McBride)
