The Under-16 Team triumphed 3-1 over a gutsy Prestwick St Nicholas, all four boys giving their all with very mature performances.

Team Captain, Blair Gavin, won the lead match with comfortable 3 & 2 victory

Robbie Blackwood was second out and was also a comfortable 3 & 2 winner.

Match three became pivotal. Stuart Hope, though boasting four hole lead at the 10th was pegged back to all-square by the 16th. However, a fine 7-iron to 40 feet at the 17th was duly dispatched for a birdie 2 and an unassailable 1 up lead, ensuring that the trophy came to Barassie. A solid par 4 at the 18th completed an excellent 1 hole win.

In the final game, Elliot Masterson was really up against it from the start, giving away 10 shots. Despite reaching the 16th a credible 5 over par, still lost his match 3 & 2.

This is an excellent result for a very young team, coming out on top under the nerves and pressure of competitive golf.

Well done, Boys!

Last weekend, the Wallace Thornton, Scratch under-18 team and Under-16 finals were held at Loudoun Gowf Club with Barassie in competing in both finals.

In the under-18 Wallace Thornton, Barassie went down a fighting 1-3 to Welbeck in a very tightly contested match, with two of the matches being decided on the last hole

Euan Walker lost 3 & 2
Callum Gorrie won 2&1
Euan Henderson lost 1 down
Stewart Russell lost 1 down.

Given our oldest boy is only 16 and their youngest 17, it was certainly a superb performance and bodes well for next year.

A very well done to all four boys ...Champions in the making!
