AYRSHIRE CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS - Four more through to last sixteen

Four more players have booked their place in the last sixteen of the 2019 Ayrshire Champion of Champions Trophy competition.

Craig Menzies (Muirkirk) had an epic second round match with his visitor Martin Riddall (New Cumnock) before eventually going through at the first extra hole. Menzies now travels to play either George Johnston (Kilbirnie) or Craig Robertson (Abbotsford) in round three.

Also through is Andrew Bell (Beith) who had a 5&3 home win over Fraser McCall (Troon Portland) to set up a third round visit to play either Craig Stevenson (Crosshouse) or Sandy Buchanan (Prestwick St Nicholas).

Derek Watt (Drongan) also had a comfortable home win, by 5&3, over Paul Mangan (Skelmorlie) to progress and will now host Robbie Muir (Kilmarnock Barassie) in round three.

In the other tie played recently, Adam Sweeney (Routenburn) was a home winner by 2&1 over Iain Rawlings (Malletsheugh) in round two and will now travel to meet either Stephen Machin (Royal Troon) or Graeme Warnock (NB Parkstone) in round three.

The remaining second round ties are due to be completed by Sunday 12th May.
