DUMFRIES-SHIRE WIN DRENNAN SALVER AT GLENLUCE

Originally played on a home and away basis for over 30 years, the decision was taken to make this a one day event from 2010 onwards, with the inaugural winners being Kircudbrightshire at Glenluce . With each team consisting of 8 players, games are contested by a foursomes method in the morning and singles in the afternoon, each player playing against both opposing counties during the day.
This years contest was originally scheduled for 18th September over Dumfries and Galloway Golf Club but had to be re-arranged due to inclement weather making the course unplayable, and was rescheduled for 16th October at the same venue.
Following some close games in the morning foursomes, Kirkcudbrightshire raced into an early lead winning their first two matches against Wigtownshire, but were to be caught and overhauled by Dumfriesshire who managed to win all four of their games including a hard fought one hole win by home players Martin McNae and Sean Kennedy against Wigtownshire’s Scott Whannel and Jonathon McQuaker.
The afternoon singles took on a similar story with Kirkcudbrightshire brushing aside Wigtownshire by four matches to nil with some fine performances by Colin Heuchan and Ross Murray In particular, a feat Dumfriesshire could not match in their 2 ½ to 1 ½ winning margin against the same opponents, Kyle McClung earning Wigtownshire their sole victory.
This left things very finely poised, with Dumfriesshire a mere ½ point ahead of Kirkcudbrightshire with four games, between the two sides, still out on the course. However, wins for McNae, Thomson, Hamilton, and a halved last game, saw Dumfriesshire win the salver for the first time in three years by a 3 ½ point margin.
