Renfrewshire Boys Golf Team continued their defence of the West League title with a solid win against Dunbartonshire at Dumbarton Golf Course at the weekend.

The win continues their undefeated run this year with two wins and two draws.

Despite poor weather the course, although heavy in places, was in a very good condition.

Renfrewshire could only field three under-18 players due to other commitments and played an experienced under-16 to fill the gap. Two new players were used in the under-16s but unfortunately for Timothy Erskine he did not get a game as Dunbartonshire failed to field an opponent for him.

None of the Renfrewshire team had played the course before but this did not affect them with two of the under-16s having convincing wins while the third player lost on the last green.

In the under 18s matches there was a big win and a big defeat with the final outcome resting on the last two games on the course, and with both Renfrewshire boys losing with three holes to play things looked bleak for Renfrewshire.

However Jamie Sinnamon won 16 and 17 to go one up and a half at the last gave him victory by one hole.

Meanwhile Ibrahim Hussain made birdie at 16 and 17 to square his match and came close to winning but his final putt on 18 stayed out.

The final result was a 5.5-2.5 win for Renfrewshire.

Meanwhile the Renfrewshire teams are bidding farewell to three of their most promising players.

Graham McGee, president of Renfrewshire Golf Union, explained: “Tom McKenzie has performed very well for Renfrewshire over the last two seasons and bowed out to-day with a fantastic 9/7 victory before he sets off with his golfing family for a new life in Holland, we wish him well.

“Also thanks for their previous contributions to the team from Matthew Dalrymple and Lewis Breslin who are now off on their next life experience at college in America. We hope you both do well.”
