AYRSHIRE SCRATCH LEAGUES - Two new teams for 2016 competition

Two new teams have entered the 2016 Ayrshire Scratch leagues, in addition to those who contested the leagues in 2015, with one of last years participating teams, Ayr Belleisle, still not having submitted an entry this year.

Ayr Seafield and Crosshouse will take part in the competition this year, for the first time.

With only two days remaining until entries close for the 2016 competition, the total of teams taking part looks likely to be either 25 or 26.

Wit the addition of teams, it is likely that Division 5, which was not competed for in 2015, will be played again in 2016, with some rearrangement of the lower leagues taking place, based on the 2015 final placings.
