Played at Paisley Golf Club and once again generously sponsored by Greenlaw Garage,  Paisley,  www.greenlawgarge.com on a day when for once the gods shone on the RGU, the weather was superb and with a course in great condition the prospect of good golf was always on the cards.

In the Final Jamie Sinnamon (Greenock Whinhill) beat Jack Currie (Greenock) by 4 and 2.

The game started in a fairly scrappy manner with Jack going out of bounds at the first while Jamie had a solid par to go 1 up. Jack won the second with par when Jamie seriously overshot the green. Jack then went 1 up with a superb birdie at the third.

The fourth was halved but the fifth was conceded after a wild drive by Jack. The sixth was halved in par and Jack went 1 up with a great approach shot birdie at the seventh while Jamie missed the green. The eighth was halved in par and the ninth was halved in bogeys after both hit poor drives to the right and had to play back to the fairway.

Jack Currie was 1 up at the turn.

The second nine was in complete contrast to the first nine with Jamie hitting a great second to ten for a tap in birdie to square the game. After halves in par at eleven, Jamie made birdie at the par 5 twelfth to go 1 up.

At the short thirteenth both missed the green and the hole was halved. With Jack failing to get up and down at the fourteenth Jamie won it with par to go 2 up and with the same thing happening at the next hole this meant   Jamie was 3 up with 3 to play. He closed out the game at the par 5 sixteenth with his third birdie in seven holes to win the match by 4 and 2.

A match played in the best of spirits between 2 friends.

In the semi-finals, Jamie Sinnamon beat Alan Donnelly (Caldwell) at the 19^th while Jack Currie beat Euan English (Erskine) by 2 holes.

On the previous Sunday 16^th Alan Donnelly beat Ibrahim Hussain (Eastwood) at the 19^th, Jamie Sinnamon beat Jack Crawford (Williamwood) by 1 hole and Euan English beat Kenan Ingram (Port Glasgow) 2 and 1.

Jack Currie received a walk over when his opponent failed to make his tee-time.

In the preliminary rounds Alan Donnelly beat Cameron Lyle (Paisley) 3 and 1, Jack Crawford beat Ben Campbell (Elderslie) 2 and 1 and Timmy Erskine (Kilmacolm) beat Naill Gallagher (Gourock) 3 and 2.
