In Section A, Turnberry are favourites to take the other place in the final, in their first season in the competition.

Recent home wins by 5 - 1 and 4 - 2, over West Kilbride and Troon Welbeck respectively, put Turnberry in a strong position and with the slim hopes of Troon Welbeck and West Kilbride ending with their 3 - 3 draw at Troon only Ayr Belleisle can overtake Turnberry, though they will need to win both their remaining fixtures.
