West of Scotland Inter County “A” League
Dumbartonshire v Ayrshire
Report from Jim Paton, DGU “A” Team Manager.
The
final game of this year’s WOS team matches resulted in a winner takes
all match between the holders Ayrshire and ourselves, although we could
have won the league with a drawn match, as we were at the top of the
league by one point.
Ayrshire,
who has been our nemesis for the past two years having also defeated us
in the Scottish Area Team Championship final last year, rose to the
occasion once again by defeating us by 6 games to 2 at a wet and windy
Cardross and therefore retained the West of Scotland Trophy. This was
presented to their team manager John Rushbury by DGU president Hugh
Semple at the meal after the match.
The
results, apart from 2 were all very close and with the DGU officials
standing on the 15th green, it looked as if it was close enough for DGU
to just get the half match they need. Unfortunately for us the strong
Ayrshire players prevailed over the 16 & 17th holes and eventually
ran out worthy winners in a game that was played in best of
sportsmanship which has now come to be expected by these two counties.
My
thanks to ALL the players who have represented DGU in our games this
year in what has been our most successful year since 2001. Hopefully
next year with either the same players, or any of the successful Youth
players moving up we can continue our progress.
