Ayrshire suffered a second successive defeat in the 2012 West Of Scotland inter county matches at Cardross on Wednesday, going down to Dumbartonshire & Argyll
Renfrewshire are favourites to win the West Division women's inter-county team golf championship at Cardross GC.
 
They made it two wins out of two on Day 2 when they beat the other Day 1 winners, Lanarkshire 7-2.
 
Renfrewshire's strength in depth in the singles, spearheaded by Alyson McKechin (Elderslie) and the Briggs sisters from Kilmacolm, Megan and Eilidh, shone through as they took the afternoon session 5-1.
 
In the other tie last year's champions, Ayrshire, lost for the second time, beaten 5 1/2-3 1/2 by Dunbartonshire and Argyll.
