In glorious weather, the Ayrshire team came from behind at the half way stage to edge the morning foursomes by 2 - 1 and in the afternoon singles again turned the match their way in the closing nine holes, eventually taking the singles by 3.5 - 2.5 for a 5.5 - 3.5 win overall, which could have been greater but for the visitors in the final two ties both winning the final hole with birdies to take 1.5 of the final 2 points.

The results so far leave Ayrshire and Argyll and Bute ties with a win and a draw at the top of the table, with Dumbartonshire having one win and North still to secure their first points of the campaign.
Ayrshire's final match in the qualifying section is on Sunday the 9th of July when they travel to play North at Moray, knowing that a victory by the same or better score than Argyll and Bute's against Dumbartonshire would see them qualify for the final in September.
