Ayrshire completed their fixtures in the 2011 West Of Scotland Inter County Leagues on Sunday 23rd October, with the youths winning at home to Lanarkshire but losing out agonisingly on tie difference for the title, whilst the A team had their third narrow loss away from home in the competition to fnish in second bottom place in their league.

Craig Telfer (Prestwick S Cuthbert) lost to Martin Scott (Hamilton) by 4 & 3
