| The winning Ayr Belleisle team with the Ayrshire Junior Golf league Championship trophy |
Ayr Belleisle are the 2018 Ayrshire Junior Golf League Champions
following a very close match with Kilmarnock (Barassie) in the final at
Caprington on Sunday 16th September.
With both teams having identical records in their league
sections, all the way down ties for and against it was always likely to be a
close match, as it proved to be, with a number of the ties being settled on the
final green.
In the lead tie, Sean Addie (Ayr Belleisle) lost out to his
Ayrshire boys team mate Ewan Milligan by a single hole in a closely fought
encounter.

In the second tie, John Kelly of Belleisle started well against
John McCracken but was pulled back over the mid round holes before Kelly rallied
to secure a 3&2 victory.
In the third tie, Ross McDonald (Kilmarnock Barassie) and Callum
Byers were well match over the opening holes before McDonald edged two ahead
with three to play. Byers wasn’t finished however, as he pegged McDonald back
to take the tie to the eighteenth before he succumbed to a one hole defeat.
The fourth tie also proved to be a close encounter with Lewis
Connor (Belleisle) fighting back to secure a single hole victory over Ben
Watson.
In what would prove to be a
crucial tie, Daniel Long played some great golf
to beat Craig Erentz by 5&4 and to give the Belleisle team a crucial
draw overall at the least.
In the anchor tie, Harvey
McDonald lost out by 2&1 to Aiden Tasker.
With the final score tied at 3-3,
the countback over the results of the individual ties led to the announcement
of Ayr Belleisle as the 2018 Ayrshire Junior Golf League Champions.

In the final of the Champion Of Champions Trophy
competition, Robbie Muir (Kilmarnock Barassie) was scheduled to play Adam Carballo

Illness

alternative date identified, Adam Carballo decided to forfeit the tie and

followed the conclusion of the AJGL Final match.
