The Ayrshire Under 18 team got back to wining ways on Sunday the 2nd of July 2023 with an away victory over Dumbartonshire at Clydebank & District GC in the West of Scotland Inter County Under 18 league, for the Wishart Trophy.
In their second match of the 2023 series, the Ayrshire side won by 6-2 overall, with a clean sweep of the four under 16 ties.
Quintin Dunlop (Turnberry) led the way with a 4&2 victory in the lead match and despite Dylan Scally (West Kilbride) being defeated by 6&5 in the first of the under 18 ties, 6&4 wins by both Jack Broadfoot (Troon Welbeck) and Finlay Watt (West Kilbride) put Ayrshire 3-1 ahead.
Euan Forrest (West Kilbride) ensured at least a drawn match overall for Ayrshire with a fine 3&2 victory in his tie, despite mistakenly leaving his putter at home and having to borrow a rental putter for the round.
Ayrshire just needed a half point from the remaining three ties on the course for an overall victory, and the vital result came from Liam Moran (Irvine) who won the last two holes of a very tight tie for a two hole victory overall, and a fifth point for Ayrshire.
Ollie Long (Kilmarnock Barassie) added Ayrshire's sixth point with a 3&2 victory in his tie, and despite trailing by four holes with five to play, Ryan Kennedy (Irvine) fought back but was just edged out by 2&1 to give a final match score of 6-2 in favour of the visiting Ayrshire team.
Ayrshire's next fixture in the competition is a home tie against Glasgow at Irvine Ravenspark GC on Sunday the 20th of August.
