The Ayrshire
A Team will need to wait until next Sunday to find out if they have retained
the West Of Scotland Inter County League, following their 6.5 – 1.5 victory in
their final scheduled fixture of the season, against Stirlingshire at Glenbervie
last Sunday, 14th October.
The win puts
Ayrshire one point clear of Renfrewshire, who face Stirlingshire in a re
arranged fixture at Bonnyton GC on Sunday 21st. A win for Renfrewshire
will see them take the title from Ayrshire whilst anything other than a win for
the home side will give Ayrshire a fourth successive West Of Scotland title
win.
Ayrshire
went into their last match of the season knowing that only a victory would be
good enough to maintain their title hopes, whilst Stirlingshire also had hopes
of the title if they could beat their visitors.
Jim Johnston
got Ayrshire off to the best possible start with a 5&3 win in the lead tie,
as Ayrshire swept to victory, dropping only 1.5 points with a defeat for Tommy
McInally in the anchor tie and a half match secured by Michael Smyth.
