AYRSHIRE SCRATCH LEAGUES - Latest positions

There are only a few fixtures still to be completed in the Ayrshire Scratch leagues, as the 2016 competition enters its final few weeks.

In Division 1, Loudoun had an important win over Ballochmyle, by 3.5 – 2.5, in their latest fixture which leaves Ballochmyle needing to win the return match next week to have any chance of avoiding the drop into Division 2 next year.

The Division 1 trophy is destined to have a new name added this year, with the championship destined to go to either Prestwick St Cuthbert or Turnberry.

There are only three matches still to be played in Division 1 with Loudoun due to visit Ballochmyle and Turnberry facing a trip to Loudoun as well as a crucial away trip to Prestwick St Cuthbert.

In Division 2, West Kilbride only need a draw in their final match at Troon St Meddans to take the title ahead of Irvine Ravenspark who finished their fixtures with a 3.5 – 2.5 away win against St Meddans, although the St Meddsans team will be looking for a result in their last match to ensure their own safety in the division next year.

A recent 4 – 2 defeat at home to Ayr Belleisle leaves Girvan at the foot of the table with a crucial home tie against Troon Welbeck remaining to be played.

As well as the Troon Welbeck vs Girvan and Troon St Meddans Vs West Kilbride ties remaining, Troon Welbeck also have an outstanding home match against Ayr Belleisle to complete.
