NEW FACES IN SCOTLAND TEAM
AS THEY BID TO RETAIN BOYS'
HOME INTERNATIONALS TITLE

Scotland will bid to win the boys' home golf internationals title at the Machynys Peninsula, Wales from August 7 to 9 with only two of the players who were part of the successful squad (pictured right) at Moray Golf Club, Lossiemouth 12 months ago. It was the first time the Under-18 Scots had topped the all-play-all table against England, Ireland and Wales since 1995.
They are James Byrne (Banchory), the new Scottish boys' stroke-play champion, and Michael Stewart (Troon Welbeck) who lost out to James, his golfing buddy, at the third hole of a play-off for the title at Cardrona last week.
Byrne flies to American a few days after the internationals to enrol at Arizona State University on a four-year golf scholarship. Because of this he will miss the British boys' open amateur championship at Royal Porthcawl, South Wales.
The North and North-east is well represented with the selection of Fraser Fotheringham (Nairn), Scott Fraser (Royal Aberdeen and Chris Gaittens (Fortrose & Rosemarkie).
Scottish boys' match-play champion Paul Ferrier (Baberton) and Scottish schoolboys' title-winner Neil Henderson (Glen) are in the 11-strong line-up.
Team is:
James Byrne (Banchory), Andrew Campbell (Dumbarton), Paul Ferrier (Baberton), Fraser Fotheringham (Nairn), Scott Fraser (Royal Aberdeen), Chris Gaittens (Fortrose & Rosemarkie), Neil Henderson (Glen), Sam McLaren (King James VI), Paul Shields (Kirkhill), Michael Stewart (Troon Welbeck), Andrew Wallace (Glenbervie).
