AYRSHIRE SCRATCH LEAGUES - Prestwick St Cuthbert on verge of retaining title

Prestwick St Cuthbert

are on the verge of retaining the Ayrshire Scratch League Division 1 title as the three Ayrshire Scratch League competitions enter their final few weeks.

Recent home wins by 6-0 and 4.5-1.5 over Turnberry and Royal Troon respectively leave the St Cuthbert team needing just a draw or better in their final league fixture away to Royal Troon to ensure a second successive league title.

Ayr Belleisle remain in second place at present, despite a 4-2 defeat away to Largs, which was countered by a 5-1 away win over Kilmarnock Barassie, while Largs lie in third place with a 3.5-2.5 away win over Turnberry.

A 3.5-2.5 home win over Turnberry has put Irvine in pole position to secure fourth spot and a place in Division 1 next season while the other match played recently resulted in a 3-3 draw between Kilmarnock Barassie and Turnberry.

With just six fixtures remaining to be completed, present positions in Division 1 are:-
