WEST OF SCOTLAND INTER COUNTY LEAGUES - Ayrshire's title hopes suffer with defeat by Renfrewshire, whilst the youths team draw third successive match

Ayrshire’s hopes of regaining the West of Scotland inter county league title suffered a severe blow on Sunday the 10th of October when the A team crashed to a 2.5 – 5.5 defeat away to Renfrewshire at Bonnyton, in the fourth match of the five fixture series.

Despite the Ayrshire team performing well, the standard of play from the hosts was outstanding, typified by the match involving Scott Brown, who was six under par but still suffered a 2 & 1 defeat, with his opponent returning ten under par figures for the holes played.

Match details (Renfrewshire names first) :-

Stewart Watt (Old Ranfurly) lost to John Shanks (Irvine) by 4&3

Willie McMillan (Bonnyton) halved with Robbie Muir (Kilmarnock Barassie)

Alex Ferguson (Paisley) beat Daniel Forbes (Irvine) by 3&2

Derek Anderson (Cochrane Castle) beat Adam Sweeney (Prestwick St Cuthbert) by 3&2

Jack Barnsley (Paisley) beat Scott Brown (Prestwick St Cuthbert) by 2&1

Andy Jamieson (Paisley) beat Steven Stamper (Turnberry) by 2&1

Craig Thomson (Gleddoch) lost to John Haggarty (Loudoun) by 2&1

RENFREWSHIRE   5.5    AYRSHIRE   2.5

With Lanarkshire winning narrowly, by 4.5 – 3.5, away to Glasgow and Dumbartonshire beating Stirlingshire at home by 5.5 – 2.5 in the other matches in week 4, Ayrshire now need to win their final fixture of the series at home to Dumbartonshire at Prestwick St Nicholas on Sunday the 17th of October, and hope that Renfrewshire are defeated, and Lanarkshire do no better than a draw in their respective final matches if Ayrshire have any chance of regaining the west league title in 2021
