As the
matches in the four qualifying section
of the 2017 Ayrshire handicap League enter their final few weeks, the
chase for the four semi final spots is closely contested.
In SECTION
A, Troon St Meddans lead the way following a 5.5 – 0.5 home win over Stewarton
this week.
Drongan’s hopes were dented recently following a 6 – 0 defeat away
to Royal Troon, but all six teas in the section still have the chance to qualify
for the semi finals depending on the result of outstanding matches.

Ailsa Craig
kept their own slim qualification hopes alive with a 3.5 – 2.5 win at Largs
Routenburn, whilst Largs Routenburn had a 4.5 – 1.5 home win over Braehead to
maintain their own qualification hopes.

In SECTION
D, Kilbirnie
Place are clear leaders, having completed all their fixtures, though Ayr Dalmilling
have a home game against Annanhill to play and anything other than a defeat in
the match would give them the semi final place ahead of Kilbirnie.
Kilbirnie
boosted their chances with a 3.5 – 2.5 away win at Tam O Shanter whilst the
Prestwick St Nicholas qualification bid ended when they went down 4.5 – 1.5 at
Annanhill.
