BORROWMAN, KELLETT SPEARHEAD
SCOTS YOUTHS' BID TO BEAT IRISH
New Scotland youths champion Scott Borrowman from Dollar and Ross Kellett from Motherwell, conqueror of England's big gun, Jamie Moul, last week, spearhead Scotland in Wednesday's youths international golf match against Ireland at West Waterford Golf Club.
Three North-east players- Jordan Findlay, Lewis Kirton and Philip McLean - are also included alongwith Robert McKnight of Kilmarnock Barassie.
McLean played in the Scotland team whipped 7-2 by the Irish at Blairgowrie last year when even the inclusion of Lloyd Saltman could not prevent an Irish landslide victory. All the others are new to youth international level.
Findlay and Kirton have not long returned from America where they are students at East Tennessee State University and the University of Louisville, Kentucky respectively.
Borrowman, a Stirling University student, won the Scottish youths championship at Erskine Golf Club on Sunday when, under pressure, he birdied the last two of 72 holes to win the title by two strokes.
Kellett, pictured above, beat England’s Jamie Moul, No 2 in the R&A world men’s amateur rankings, in the later stages of last week’s British amateur championship at Royal Lytham.
The Scots squad will stay on in Ireland to compete in the Irish youths open amateur championship over the same course on Thursday and Friday.
The team of six is:
Scott Borrowman (Dollar)
Jordan Findlay (Fraserburgh)
Ross Kellett (Colville Park)
Lewis Kirton (Newmachar)
Robert McKnight (Barassie)
Philip McLean (Peterhead).
The Irish team, which includes three American college students (Kearney, Power and Rafferty) is:
Andrew Hogan (Newlands), Niall Kearney (Royal Dublin), Dara Lernihan (Castle/ UCD),
Neil O'Briain (Royal Dublin), Seamus Power (West Waterford), Fergal Rafferty (Dungannon).
