The Renfrewshire Golf Union boys’ team retained the West League Title with a resounding win over Glasgow Golf Union at Ranfurly Castle on Sunday by 6.5 matches to 1.5 matches.

The team again went through the season, again unbeaten with three wins and two draws.

The wind caused a lot of problems for both sides, most players found it difficult to control the ball.

However the Renfrewshire boys coped better than their opponents, but at the turn the match was very much in the balance with three of the under-16 players being well down and the under-18’s matches being very even.

The holes after the turn proved crucial as first Roddy McAulay turned a three-hole deficit after nine into a two-hole lead by 15, eventually winning by 3/1.

Greg McCaffer, in his first outing for the RGU, was four down after 10 but fought back to secure half a point.

Cameron Johnstone was not at his best and poor putting cost him the game as he lost by 3/2.

Aidan O’Hagan, the youngest player in the team but a boy to watch out for in the future, played the anchor role for the under-16’s in the absence of Tom Mackenzie and was never in trouble with a comfortable 7/6 winner.

Angus Frood, on his home course where he is junior champion, was always in command against Jack Crawford and won 6/4.

Jamie Sinnamon was never down, but threw away some good leads before settling the nerves of the management by winning by two holes.

Jack Currie had a bit of an up-and-down game but and while Jack never lost the lead, mistakes kept the game close. He eventually ran out winner by 3/1.

In the top match Ibrahim Hussain, looking for his first win for the RGU, came up trumps and put in a great performance. He built a comfortable early lead which he never gave up and ran out a comfortable winner by 6/4.
