Golfing triumph for juniors

Print | Email

FOR the second time in three years Cardross juniors won the McIntyre league, which is contested for by golf clubs in the area.

With only two boys from the winning team two years ago playing in this year's side, the whole team provided evidence of the ability and strength in depth the village side has where the junior section forms an important part of the club.

Gavin Foubister and Ian Stewart were the two juniors to feature in both league wins and their experience was crucial to guide the younger players to this years league triumph.

First up was a home game against Helensburgh and a 5 and 1/2 to 1/2 victory gave the boys confidence that good times were ahead.

This was followed by another home win this time by 4 and 1/2 to 1 and 1/2 against Clydebank and District.

Two away games then followed against Overton and the Vale of Leven, where two wins dropping only one halved match set up another away game against Dumbarton.

This game was tighter and in the end the Cardross juniors came away with a 4-2 victory.

The final game was at home to Clober and a 5 and 1/2 to 1/2 win was the icing on the cake for the boys which saw them go through the league unbeaten.

The boys were photographed after the league junior presentation day for all the league teams which by coincidence was held at Cardross this year.

In the medal round played for by all of the teams Gavin Foubister carded the lowest scratch with a 74 to edge out Liam Chambers.
