RENFREWSHIRE GOLF UNION NEWS RELEASE

Renfrewshire Golf Union’s quest for 13 league titles in the West of Scotland Championship saw a weakened team – no Andrew Farmer, Matt Clark or Gordon Stevenson – travel to Bishopbriggs to meet Glasgow.  
 There, they faced a side which was also without a couple of top players and a nervous day ensued for all.

 Team captain Ronnie Clark met an on form Barry Hume, a past Scottish amateur champion who made it to the semi-finals in this year’s championship.  
Barry recorded a 5 and 4 win for yet unbeaten Glasgow.   
Michael Daily and Craig Watson responded well with solid wins to put Renfrewshire ahead but Bonnyton’s Willie McMillan could not cope with a great display of golf from Blair Dalglish (Ralston), one of the winning team in this year’s Youth Championship. 

Again, Renfrewshire bounced back with wins from David Dickson and Craig Pirie but current Renfrewshire champion, David Macfarlane lipped out at the 18th to lose by one hole to Haggs Castle’s John Brown.   
This left David Millar, three down after five holes to Craig Anderson (Sandyhills), with the challenge of fighting back for the half point required for victory and David did just that with a brave performance. 

So two wins for the Renfrewshire side which entertains the Stirlingshire team at Renfrew Golf Club on Sunday.
