AYRSHIRE SCRATCH LEAGUES - Chase for league crowns hots up

The chase for the title in the five Ayrshire Scratch leagues is hotting up as play enters the final six weeks of competition.

In DIVISION 1, League leaders Irvine suffered a setback last week with a 4 - 2 defeat on their visit to play near neighbours Irvine Ravenspark. Wit two games remaining, at home to Troon Welbeck and away to Loudoun, Irvine can still be overtaken by Kilmarnock Barassie and Loudoun, although the destiny of the title is still very much in Irvine's own hands.

In DIVISION 2, Ayr Belleisle and Prestwick St Cuthbert had 3 - 3 draws away from home last week, against Caprington and Girvan respectively, to move to joint top in the table with West Kilbride.

With only six fixtures remaining in the section, it looks like the crunch game could be the fixture between St Cuthbert and Belleisle at Prestwick, although with home games remaining against both Ayr Belleisle and West Kilbride, Ardeer may yet hold the key to the championship title destination.
