WEST OF SCOTLAND LEAGUES - Areas in search of new Secretary
The six West Of Scotland Areas have still to identify a new Secretary following their latest meeting last week.
The present Secretary, Alasdair Malcolm (Ayrshire) intimated at the last meeting in November that, following an expression of no confidence by representatives of one area, he would be stepping down at the March meeting, but intimated that he would continue to administer the affairs of the West Leagues until then.
Despite the four month window, no replacement was identified at last weeks meetings and consequently the six constituent areas have agreed to make further efforts over the next four weeks to fill the post.
In the interim, all enquiries relating to West Of Scotland Leagues business should be directed to the present Charman of the West Leagues association, John Main, via the Lanarkshire Secretary Les Innes at les.innes@virginmedia.com

WEST OF SCOTLAND A LEAGUE - Final placings
Renfrewshire and Lanarkshire have agreed to share declare the final match of the season in the West Of Scotland A League a draw.
The match, postponed last weekend, was scheduled to be replayed next week but as the result would in no way affect the league positions of either team, and thus not advantage or disadvantage any of the other competing counties, both team managers agreed not to replay the fixture.
The final positions in the 2014 A League are thus:-

WEST LEAGUES - Double title success for Renfrewshire
Renfrewshire tasted double title success, in both the A and Youths West Of Scotland Inter County Leagues, following the last scheduled round of fixtures on Sunday 26 October.
For the
second successive week, all matches were played in wet and windy conditions.
Bidding
for their 13th successive A League title, Renfrewshire lined up against
Dumbartonshire at Erskine GC knowing that victory would see them secure the
title without having to play their final outstanding game against Lanarkshire,
which was postponed last week.
Renfrewshire
made no mistake, beating their visitors by 6 - 2 to ensure the title once
again.
Match details (Renfrewshire names first)
Matt Clark (Kilmacolm) beat Steven Stewart (Dalmuir) by 1 hole
Ronnie Clark (Erskine) beat Ian McCalman (Clober) by 5 & 3
Michael Daily (Erskine) beat Andy Campbell (Dumbarton) by 4 & 3
Andy farmer (Kilmacolm) beat Kevin Smith (Windyhill) by 5 & 3
Gordon Stevenson (Whitecraigs) beat Chris Prior (Bearsden) by 5 & 4
David Dickson (Bonnyton) halved with Scott Moore (Clydebank & Discrict)
Craig Pirie (Renfrew) lost to Alistair Parlane (Helensburgh) by 1 hole
Stewart Watt (Old Ranfurly) halved with James McEwan (Clydebank & District)
RENFREWSHIRE 6 DUMBARTONSHIRE

Glasgow
secured second place in the table with a 4.5 - 3.5 home win over Stirlingshire
at Sandyhills, in a match played in terrible conditions with heavy rain and
strong winds, though both teams were commended by officials who played the
match in great spirits, with the result in doubt right to the last game.
Barry
Hume won by 2&1 over Ryan Campbell to put Glasgow ahead but Jamie
Savage was beaten 5&4 by David Buchanan to square the match. Gordon Miller
won by 3&2 and Fraser Grant won by 2&1 to put Glasgow 3 - 1 in
front but Stirlingshire won the next 2 games, Mark Hislop by 5&4 and
Lindsay Blair, the match was levelled at 3 - 3. John Laurie won 3&2 to put
Glasgow 4 - 3 ahead and a draw looked likely until Craig Morrison of
Haggs Castle fought back from two down with four holes remaining to gain an all
important half point to give Glasgow the match by 4.5 - 3.5.
GLASGOW 4.5
STIRLINGSHIRE 3.5
Ayrshire
finished the campaign with a 5 - 3 home win over Lanarkshire in their final
fixture, to ensure that they secured third place in the league table.

In
the Youths League, Renfrewshire pipped Ayrshire for the title, on the countback
of individual ties, after the league leaders lost out to Lanarkshire at Lanark
in their final match.
Needing a
draw in their last fixture of the season to retain the title, Ayrshire went
down by 5 - 3 to their hosts.
Match
details (Lanarkshire names first) :-
Andrew
Thomson (Lanark) beat James Johnstone (Ayr Belleisle) by 1 holeAndrew Steven (Easter Moffat) lost to Greg Telfer (Prestwick St Cuthbert) by 4&2
Callum Conacher (Wishaw) beat greg Vernon (Kilmarnock Barassie) by 6&4

The result
left Renfrewshire needing a win by any margin to match Ayrshire on points and
take the title by tie difference, following the frankly unacceptable and
unsporting actions of the Lanarkshire players and officials the previous week,
who apparently refused to play on and conceded their match to Renfrewshire when
behind in six of the eight ties, citing 'overhead conditions'. This
resulted in an 8 - 0 score in favour of Renfrewshire which allowed them to
match Ayrshire in tie difference at +10, meaning, as it subsequently
transpired, that a win by any margin would give Renfrewshire the title in the
event that Ayrshire lost their final match.
To the
credit of the Renfrewshire team, they did not let the unsavoury situation,
which was not of their making, distract them from the task in hand and they
secured a convincing 6.5 - 1.5 away win against Dumbartonshire at Milngavie to
take the points and the trophy for 2014.
DUMBARTONSHIRE 1.5
RENFREWSHIRE 6.5
The other
match, between Stirlingshire and Glasgow at Buchanan Castle, was called off due
to the course being closed, and as the result had no bearing on the rest of the
league positions, the teams agreed to count the match as a 4 – 4 draw rather
than arrange a replay.

For the integrity of the
competition it can only be hoped that there is no repeat of the actions of the
Lanarkshire team and officials which transpired last week in the
future, for the benefit of all teams competing in the competition.
