WEST LEAGUES - Renfrewshire secure 12th successive title with win against Dumbartonshire


The 2013 West of Scotland Inter County Leagues were completed on Sunday 27th October with Renfrewshire beating their hosts Dumbartonshire by 6.5 - 1.5 at Kirkintilloch to secure the A League title for the 12th successive season.


At the third time of asking, the long awaited match between Dumbartonshire and Renfrewshire to see if DGU could stop the amazing progress of Renfrewshire winning the league for the 12th time in a row.

Unfortunately for the home side this wasn't the case. Played at a wet Kirkintilloch GC. both teams put in a sterling performance in the wet, cold conditions. 
 
Dumbartonshire never had the upper hand, but after the fourth game, Dumbartonshire had halved 2 games and lost 2 with the other 4 games looking likely to go to the final holes, giving Renfrewshire a slight  worry.
 
However the Renfrewshire players in games 5,6 & 7 all managed to win their games with the last game being halved.

 The win allowed Renfrewshire to edge out long time leaders Lanarkshire in the race for the title.
