Ayr Belleisle dealt a potentially fatal blow to Prestwick St Cuthbert title hopes in Division 2 of the Ayrshire Scratch leagues at the weekend, defeating their visitors by 4 - 2 in their final match of the season.
Despite a 6 & 5 win by Craig Telfer, St Cuthbert could only manage two half points in the remaining five ties, and thus failing to get the half match needed to secure the Division 2 title.

D. Low beat D. Longair by 5 & 4

L. Hughes beat S. Gillies by 6 & 5

The latest result means that Ballochmyle need to win their final match of the season, away to Ayr Belleisle, in order to snatch the title from St Cuthbert's grasp. In an exciting finish to the division, the final two games will also have a bearing on the relegation place, with Ayr Belleisle needing at least a draw against Ballochmyle in their final match of the campaign to ensure survival, depending on whether bottom club Largs can get a result in their final match at home to Caprington, who in turn also need a good result to be certain of their Division 2 place next season.
In Division 1, all the matches have been concluded, with Troon Welbeck being awarded a 4 - 2 win in their final match after West Kilbride failed to show for their final match after a internal misunderstanding, leaving Troon Welbeck as runners up to champions Loudoun.
